Overview
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.

Successful candidates will:
be under 35 years of age

have preferably at least three years’ relevant work experience in the chosen subject area
applications for MBA (Master of Business Administration) programmes are not eligible
scholars not previously in receipt of a UK scholarship will generally receive higher priority, although each application will be judged on its merits.

Please check our FAQs section for more information.
Selection procedures
The selection process is undertaken by the British Council in co-operation with the British Embassy.
Initial selection will be by open competition based on completed application forms. Other supporting documents (copies of diploma, references, transcripts) are not required at this initial stage. Shortlisted candidates will be requested to submit them at a later stage. Application forms will be reviewed and a shortlist will be drawn up by end of January 2010.
Shortlisted candidates will be invited for an interview in January–February 2010. Those who have successfully passed the interview will be asked to take a formal English language test (IELTS Academic) in March 2010. Due to large number of applications we will not be able to contact candidates whose applications were not shortlisted.
Placement at a University
Chevening is a self-placement programme. If you are awarded with a scholarship, you will need to find placement at a UK university on your own. To find out about what courses are available in UK, please use www.educationuk.org.
