The University of Westminster is proud to work with Chevening, the UK government's global scholarship programme, funded by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) and partner organisations. We host on average around 30 Chevening recipients each year.
The scheme is aimed at developing global leaders and is made up of two types of award: Chevening Scholarships and Chevening Fellowships. The recipients are personally selected by British embassies and high commissions throughout the world.
This scholarship is awarded to outstanding scholars with leadership potential. Awards are typically made for a one-year Master's degree. Candidates for the scholarship come from over 110 countries worldwide. There are over 42,000 Chevening alumni around the world who together comprise an influential and highly regarded global network.
Who can apply for a Chevening Scholarship?
Chevening Scholarships are for talented people who have been identified as potential future leaders across a wide range of fields. Applicants should be high calibre graduates with the personal, intellectual and interpersonal qualities necessary for leadership.
Chevening publishes more comprehensive details of who can apply for the scholarship on its website, but generally applicants must:
be able to demonstrate that they have achieved a minimum English language requirement
be a citizen of a Chevening-eligible country at the time of applying for the award
hold a degree that is equivalent to at least a good UK second-class honours degree
have completed at least two years' work experience
plan to travel back to their home country after they have completed their studies
