The Chevening Postgraduate Scholarships are for one-year taught courses leading to a Master's qualification.

These are full scholarships covering tuition fees up to £14,000, flight to UK and a contribution toward living costs. The awards are tenable at any accredited UK university, college or tertiary education institution. If successful, you will be responsible for securing your own place on a course.
