Chevening Scholarship At Kings College London 2023–24

Applications are open for international students to apply for the Kings College London Chevening Scholarship for the years 2023–2024 in the UK. The scholarship program is available to students to undertake postgraduate-level programs at King’s College London.

Description of the scholarship:

The esteemed Chevening Scholarships are fully paid grants intended for up-and-coming leaders from a variety of international nations and locations. The possibility of studying for a master’s degree in the UK for a year is provided by these scholarships.

Candidates from more than 160 different nations and territories are eligible for Chevening scholarships, and their goal is to enroll in a taught master’s program at a reputable UK university for one year. Chevening Scholars are those with the will, the enthusiasm, the ability to think creatively, the ability to take on global concerns, and the capacity to lead for a better future.

Recipients can fully concentrate on their career goals and make the most of a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity because these scholarships cover all costs. Throughout their year in the UK, scholars develop significantly on all levels—personally and academically—create wide networks, get fully immersed in British culture, and create long-lasting, beneficial relationships with the UK. After graduating, scholars return home with the skills and important contacts necessary to realize their ideas.

King’s College London is a global center for scholars and students due to its reputation for academic excellence, research, and innovation.

The institution provides a wide range of programs in the humanities, social sciences, natural sciences, health, and other subjects. King’s College London has made major contributions to a number of subjects, including the humanities, law, and medicine, with a strong emphasis on research.

Combined master’s and PhD programs

A growing number of joint Ph.D. programs with King’s and its foreign partners are available.

Under these programs, research students get ongoing academic supervision from faculty members at both universities. Students are governed by the policies and procedures of both their “home” and “partner” universities, although they must register and apply to both. Should they succeed, they will be awarded a joint PhD by both universities.

Students are exposed to two distinct research cultures and traditions when they spend up to half of their three-year program at another university. This enhances their cultural competence and positions them favorably for employment in a labor market that is becoming more and more globalized.

Working in two different nations offers international academic referees and experience of two different academic recruitment markets to individuals who aspire to pursue an academic career.

Having access to two complementary sets of academic expertise is another benefit of joint supervision.

Subjects that are available:

Studying any subject is possible through this scholarship program.

Benefits of scholarships:

Chevening scholarships are all-inclusive, including travel, housing, and school costs.

The scholarship recipients receive a 20% tuition fee reduction from King’s College London thanks to a cooperative agreement between Chevening and King’s.

All international students, regardless of nationality, are eligible to apply for this grant.

Qualifications for Admission:

In order to be eligible for a Chevening scholarship, candidates need to fulfill the necessary requirements:

• Be a citizen of a nation or territory that is qualified to apply for Chevening scholarships.
• Agree to spend at least two years after receiving their award back in their home country.
• At the time of application submission, they will have fulfilled all prerequisites for an undergraduate degree, allowing them to be admitted to a postgraduate program at a UK university. This is equivalent to earning an upper second-class 2:1 honors degree in the UK, though the exact course and university requirements may differ.
• Have at least two years of job experience or 2,800 hours.
• By the Chevening application deadline, submit applications to three separate suitable UK university courses and obtain an unconditional offer from one of these alternatives.

The selection process is independent of caste, social class, gender, age (with no maximum age restriction), sexual orientation, religion, married or parental status, and any other personal characteristics.
• The ability to put together a strong application that shows the candidate has what it takes to succeed in a demanding master’s program in the UK and presents a clear vision for their own future as well as, possibly, the future of their industry or nation, is what counts most.

How to Apply:

Direct applications are sent to Chevening.

After the application deadline, it takes at least eight months for candidates to be conditionally chosen for an award as a Chevening Scholar.
