You will need to select three different master's courses. These can be three different courses at the same institution or three similar courses at up to three different universities.

Chevening recommends selecting three similar courses at three different universities to increase the likelihood that you will gain entry into one of them.

Please note that the course titles do not have to match exactly, but all three courses should be similar in content. You should select courses that reflect your current or future career goals.

Eligible courses

In order to be eligible, the courses you choose must be full-time, and:


Start in the autumn term (usually September/October)
Taught master’s (i.e. not research-focused MRes programmes)
Lead to a master’s degree qualification
Based in the UK

Courses cannot be:


Part-time
Distance learning
Less than nine months in duration
More than 12 months in duration
PhD or DPhil
Taught with more than one month of study outside the UK

The Secretariat will need to see evidence of an unconditional offer from one of your three-course choices in order to finalise your Chevening Scholarship.

You are not permitted to meet a university’s English language requirement by enrolling in, signing up for, or paying a fee for a pre-sessional English course.

Chevening is looking for individuals who have a clear post-study career plan. Please outline your immediate plans upon returning home and your longer-term career goals. You may wish to consider how these relate to what the UK government is doing in your country.

Strengths:


Outline of specific, concrete goals, which usually, therefore, seemed more convincing and achievable.

Weaknesses:


Applicants did not give a strong rationale, which made a potential clear career path unconvincing.
Many applicants illustrated a desire to do a PhD in the post-study section. This is ambitious and realistic but wasn’t always a convincing career goal on its own. List reasons why you want to pursue research work and how it plays a part in their longer-term ambitions.
Career plans were too often poorly developed and it was not possible to discern how a Chevening Scholarship would be of benefit.
