Applications are open!

Apply today to study for a one-year master’s degree at any UK university. Some Chevening Fellowships are also now open for applications.

Chevening enables outstanding emerging leaders from all over the world to pursue one-year master’s degrees in the UK.

There is no such thing as a ‘typical’ Chevening Scholar, but those who are successful tend to have ambition, leadership qualities, and a passion for influencing positive change in their home countries.

We encourage you to apply if you meet our eligibility criteria and other requirements. Your gender, age (there is no upper age limit), sexual orientation, religion, marriage or parenthood status, caste, class, or other attributes do not matter to us. What matters is your ability to submit a thoughtful application that demonstrates you are capable of excelling on an intense master’s course in the UK, and that you have a clear vision for your future.

Learn more about Chevening’s eligibility and work experience requirements to assess your own eligibility, and find out more about what a Chevening Award covers.

Application timeline

The process of selecting Chevening Scholars takes a minimum of eight months from the application deadline to when applicants are conditionally selected for an award. Here is an overview of the application and selection process, so you always know what’s going on.

Guidance

Helpful information about preparing your Chevening application

Preparation is key to giving yourself the best chance of being awarded a fully funded Chevening Scholarship to study in the UK. To help you, we’ve collated our best guidance and advice.

It will enable you to:

• Find the right courses
• Choose appropriate references
• Avoid common mistakes that other applicants make

You’ll also find our terms and conditions. If your application is successful, you’ll need to agree to these before accepting your award.

We wish you all the best of luck and can’t wait to welcome those of you who are successful to our diverse and global community!

Selecting the right courses at the right universities is one of the most important aspects of your application. Use this course finder tool to search for eligible master’s degree programmes at every university across the UK*.

Your Chevening application must list three courses, and they must be courses that are eligible for a Chevening Scholarship.

You will need to apply separately for your course via the university that runs the course. Your Chevening application does not constitute an application to your chosen courses.
