The FCO, the British Chevening Scholarships, in partnership with University of Southampton is pleased to announce one joint Southampton/Chevening award for talented graduates and high-flying young professionals from Russia who are seeking a unique opportunity to study in the UK and acquire new skills and knowledge.
