- Return to your country of citizenship for a minimum of two years after your scholarship has ended

- Have at least two years’ work experience

Further details
Chevening Scholarships are the UK government's global scholarship programme, funded by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) and partner organisations.
The programme offers awards for outstanding scholars from around the world who wish to study postgraduate courses (typically a one year Master's) at universities in the UK.
The University of Kent is also generously co-funding a number of Chevening Awards available to applicants from Malaysia, Turkey and Nigeria.
Please note that Chevening scholars cannot apply for a Graduate Route Visa. By accepting a Chevening award, you agree to return home for two years at the end of your scholarship.
How to apply
