Scholarships at University of Warwick

Chevening Scholarships are the UK Government’s global scholarship programme, funded by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) and partner organisations. The scholarships support study at UK universities – mostly one-year Master's degrees – for individuals with demonstrable potential to become future leaders, decision makers and opinion formers.

Chevening Scholarships 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. Applicants should be high calibre graduates with the personal, intellectual and interpersonal qualities necessary for leadership.

To be eligible for a Chevening Award, you must:

• Be a citizen of a Chevening-eligible country, and intend to return there for a minimum of 2 years after your Chevening award has finished.
• Hold a degree that is equivalent to at least an upper-second class honours degree in the UK before applying. As well as meeting this Chevening criteria applicants will also have to meet the academic requirements for their chosen course(s) of study. Some universities use NARIC to assess degree equivalency so applicants are advised to check if they meet the university’s requirements as well.
• Have completed at least two years' work experience before applying. This can include voluntary work and paid or unpaid internships.
• Meet the Chevening English language requirement by 12 July 2018. Some universities have a higher language requirement than Chevening so applicants are advised to check the requirements their chosen universities as well. For this year’s competition, applicants must provide either an IELTS, TOEFL or Pearson test result by 12 July 2018.
• Apply to three different eligible UK university courses (unless otherwise specified in your Award category). For further information visit ‘what courses should I apply to?’

• Not have previously studied in the UK under a UK government-funded scholarship.
• Not be an employee, relative of employee, or former employee (since July 2012) of Her Majesty’s Government (including British Embassies/High Commissions, the Department for International Development, the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills, UK Trade and Investment, the Ministry of Defence and the Home Office), the British Council, a partner, a sponsoring UK university, or a staff member of the Association of Commonwealth Universities.
