What courses are covered by the Chevening Programme?
Awards are normally made for formal courses such as a Master’s degree, but are also occassionally given for shorter, vocationally oriented courses, or for research attachments lasting between three and six months. They are not guaranteed for more than a year of study. There are master’s degree programmes that may be more than 12 months in duration. In such cases, the Chevening Scholarship Programme will only cover the first year of study. Courses not eligible for an award under the Chevening Scholarship Programme are military training (though military personnel can take academic courses at civilian institutions), part time courses, distance learning courses, and courses of less than three months/twelve weeks duration. Awards are also not granted for secondary education, undergraduate degree, doctoral degree and for National Vocational Qualifications (NVQ).
