Scholarship details
Chevening scholarships are awarded by the UK government to students from overseas Chevening-eligible countries or territories.
They are for talented people who have been identified as potential future leaders across a wide range of fields including politics, business, the media, civil society, religion and academia.
Most scholars undertake a one year masters degree.
The programme is mainly funded by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, with some contributions from higher education institutions and other partners in the UK.
To be eligible to apply, you must have good English language skills at the level required by postgraduate courses (Check what IELTS score or equivalent you need), and
meet the academic requirements for your course of study.
Exceptions
- British citizens are not eligible to apply.
- Employees of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (including British Embassies and High Commissions), the British Council, or a co-sponsor or sponsoring UK university (or their relatives); former employees who left such employment within the past two years.
- People who have already received financial benefit from an HMG-funded award.
The University of Brighton does not accept direct applications for the Chevening Scholarship. Instead, students should apply for the scholarship on the Foreign and Commonwealth Office website.
