Applications are now open for the 2026–2027 Chevening Scholarships! This fully funded program, supported by the UK Government’s Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office and partner organisations, offers talented future leaders from Ukraine the chance to pursue a one-year master’s degree at a UK university.

To be eligible for a scholarship, applicants must be citizens of Ukraine, hold an undergraduate degree that qualifies them for a UK master’s program, and have at least two years of work experience. They must apply to three eligible UK master’s courses, secure an unconditional offer from one, and commit to returning to Ukraine for at least two years after completing their studies.

The UK Government is the central governing authority of the United Kingdom, responsible for making and implementing national policies and laws. It is led by the Prime Minister and the Cabinet, supported by various departments and agencies. The government works to maintain public services, ensure economic stability, strengthen international relations, and uphold security and justice. Through global initiatives like Chevening, the UK Government also invests in education, leadership, and international cooperation.
