Chevening Scholarship Programme - 26 Years in UK For Post Graduate Students

Chevening Scholarship Programme

The Chevening programme has, over 26 years, provided more than 30,000 scholarships at Higher Education Institutions in the UK for post graduate students or researchers from countries across the world. Chevening scholarships are prestigious and sought after awards aimed at extremely capable individuals who have already made an impact and are motivated to pursue a career that will take them to a position of leadership within their own country.

Successful candidates should be graduates with the personal, intellectual and interpersonal qualities necessary for leadership, influencing and communications skills, leadership track record, networking ability, ambition, plans for the future; intelligence, academic potential, drive, self-management, strength of character, integrity, interests outside work; motivated to make a career leading to a position of leadership in their own countries within 10 years of their scholarships; committed to networking to find global solutions; able to use their studies and experience in the UK to benefit themselves, their countries and the UK; candidates must meet the academic requirements for their courses of study. But academic excellence is not a determining criterion for selection. Nor is there any age limitation for Chevening scholars; candidates must also have an adequate standard of English to benefit from their time in the UK, be a national of a country other than the UK at the time of applying for the award and intend to return there at the end of the period of study; and normally already hold a degree of an equivalent standard to at least a good UK second-class honors degree.

There are a limited number of scholarships available. Standard subjects include: economics and finance, human rights, law, management, international relations, diplomatic training, media studies, banking, development studies, journalism, public administration, environmental studies, computer and information technology, engineering, political science and the Oxford Foreign Service Programme. There is generally therefore no limitation on the subject of study except that military training is not allowed. Military personnel can take academic courses at civilian institutions.

Online applications for the British Chevening Scholarship Programme for academic year 2012/2013 are now closed. Online applications for the 2012/13 academic year should be available by September 2012. শিক্ষা সংক্রান্ত খবরাখবর নিয়মিত পেতে রেজিস্ট্রেশন করুন অথবা Log In করুন।
