The British Government’s flagship scholarship

Chevening Scholarships Programme 2012/13

The British Government’s Chevening Scholarships are among the most prestigious awards available to international students for study in the United Kingdom. They offer an ideal opportunity for scholars not only to study their chosen subject, but also to meet and network with their peers in the unique learning atmosphere that the UK provides.  

The scholarships are targeted at academically gifted high-flyers who have the potential to become Ukraine’s leaders, decision-makers and opinion formers. Most scholarships are for postgraduate Master’s degrees courses (MSc, MA, LLM) lasting for up to 12 months, but the option of undertaking a shorter period of study or research (minimum 3 months) is also available.

The programme is highly competitive. Applicants are assessed according to the merit of their applications, including their leadership ability, past achievements, qualifications (both academic and professional) and their English language ability. Successful applicants will demonstrate ambition, drive and leadership potential, a commitment to change and organisational development.

The scholarships are fully funded and cover return flights, course fees and living costs.

Eligibility criteria

Successful candidates will:

be under 35 years of age
be citizens of Ukraine and be resident in Ukraine at the time of application

have preferably at least three years’ relevant work experience in the chosen subject area

scholars not previously in receipt of a UK scholarship will generally receive higher priority, although each application will be judged on its merits.
