The scholarship programme offers interested candidates an opportunity to study in the UK for one year on a fully-funded master’s degree course. Successful Chevening candidates could be from any country and background, however, it is the passion, vision and skills with regard to the candidates that are accorded a high priority. There are many benefits for the candidates who get selected for the programme such as fully funded tuition fees, access to some of the best quality education in the world, exclusive networking opportunities, and the chance to explore the UK’s diverse culture.
