Background
Chevening is the
UK government’s premier scholarship scheme, aimed at future leaders, opinion formers and decision makers. These scholarships are offered in more
than 150 countries and are funded by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office. In Malaysia the scheme is administered by the British Council on behalf
of the British High Commission and provides an opportunity to outstanding young Malaysians, from a variety of fields, to further their studies in
the UK at a university of their own choice.
Chevening scholars must study in the UK for at least 3-months.
Most scholars already have a first degree and the majority study for postgraduate degrees particularly Masters courses. However some scholars
cannot spare that much time away from their careers and we welcome applications for shorter vocational or professional courses as long as they
are adequately challenging and relevant.
