Chevening in Nigeria
Chevening
is the UK Government’s global scholarship programme that offers future
leaders the unique opportunity to study in the UK. These scholarships
are awarded to outstanding professionals from your country and beyond to
pursue a one-year master’s degree in any subject at any UK university.
Chevening
provides fully-funded scholarships, leaving you free to focus on
achieving your academic goals and enjoying the experience of a lifetime.
You will live and study in the UK for a year, during which time you
will develop professionally and academically, grow your network,
experience UK culture, and build lasting positive relationships with the
UK.
If you have ambition, leadership potential, and a strong
academic background, we encourage you to apply to study in the UK, a
classroom like no other.
