Chevening Scholarships are the UK government’s global scholarship programme, funded by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) and partner organisations.
The Scholarships offer the opportunity to study for a one-year Master’s degree at any of the UK’s leading universities, and are awarded to outstanding established or emerging leaders across a wide range of fields including economics, business administration, international politics including human rights, engineering/science and technology and project and programme management linked to infrastructure development.
The programme also provides a unique opportunity for leaders of the future to build a global network of continuing professional significance and also to establish social, cultural, academic or commercial partnerships with the UK.

There are over 43,000 Chevening alumni around the world who together comprise an influential and highly regarded global network.
