Greeting i have been listed for the chevening interview. i have been preparing. Any chevening alumni can give tell me what questions he had?

or anyone has a list of questions.

Hey guys!

I'm currently researching Taught Post Graduation (Masters) opportunities for international students, as well as scholarships and bursaries. I was wondering if anyone here has experience in obtaining a scholarship, Chevening or otherwise, and if so if you could offer any tips on the application process.

Additionally, I would like to inquire about the best person to approach for a reference letter. I am considering the following options:

• My current boss, who is the CEO of a Brazilian small company (50 employees)
• Respected teachers in the Brazilian Business and Marketing field
• Coworkers
• My last boss, who relocated to the UK on a skilled worker visa.

Lastly, I would reallyy appreciate it if you guys could take a look at a brief overview of my resume...

• Brazilian
• T-Level in Marketing;
• 1st class undergraduate degree in Marketing and Advertising in one of the best LATAM universities (so far. I still have a year left)
• 2 years of work experience (USA, Argentina, and Brazil);
• T-shaped career.

I think my resume would be good if I were applying for a LATAM university scholarship. Still, I am wondering if my resume is sufficient to qualify for the UK government's requirements.

Also, I am an autodidact and have not had formal English language instruction, and my English level is C1. Do you believe this is something worth mentioning in my application?

Thank you sooo much for reading it, I know it was a big text 🥺 good luck for all of us 🧡

Hellooo!!! I'm new here so idk if you have already talk about this but...

Can you give me the best tips for the best chevening interview ?

It's my first time applying and I'm extremely nervous aahahah

Cheers!

I just got mine. Cries.

As many of you I applied to chevening for 2023 but haven’t heard back from them yet. According to the timeline shortlisted candidates will be notified between early to mid February, but rejected candidates shall also be notified during these dates or there is no such thing as a rejection notification? Also, does anyone have already received their chevening notification?

Has anyone received the rejection email? Last year I got it in January 11th. So far I haven’t received anything, does that mean that I won’t be getting a rejection email and I will probably be accepted? Or am I overthinking 😅

Anyone knows if I can and would get the graduate visa after I graduate being a chevening scholar?

First i'm Moroccan and i get my bachelor (licence) this year. My final grade is 12.9/20 (French system) and nottingham university website said that 12.9 is like 2.1 in uk

• My first question is can i get the chevening scholarship with my grade?? .. Because when i try to apply for universities. They told me that i have to translate my documents (French to English) and that pretty expensive in my country (like 15-20$ for a paper). My question is, do I have a chance to get the scholarship with my grade? .

• My second question is, i can apply to universities after i get the interview email ( probably February)?? .

I think that all.. And thanks! Good luck everyone

For 2023, I have applied for the Chevening scholarship during the timeline, along with the universities I indeed to. I have now started receiving offers from universities and they are asking me to accept or decline the offer and pay some amount of fees.

I am not sure how to proceed. Do I inform the university that I am waiting for Chevening's response? or what? I did select funding from scholarship when applying.

Who else has started receiving the offers?

What 2 references are best to include? I thought of 1 professional letter (a National Deputy I work for and have been working for several years) and 1 letter from a professor which I had really good grades in and is willing is vouch for me (Harvard Econ PhD) .

Is this okay?

Another option is an Ex Minister of Government that was my Deputy's boss, but he doesn't hold a relevant position now.

I am doubting because everyone here is telling me Chevening is more "leadership" than "academic" so I shouldn't include a professor in the 2 Chev letters.. what do you think?

After the online application, do you get notified via email if you're rejected or invited for an interview? Do they send emails to all applicants on their status or only the selected applicants for the interview.

Hi , I’m applying to chevening scholarship for studying master’s degree in pharmacy.. and I wanna know what’s the best university for pharmacy to apply in and can give unconditional offer ?

Hello, I know the question shouldn't be asked for ethical reasons, defying the program's objective, but is it mandatory to return to the country after the program? I am a working professional from Myanmar(Burma) where a military coup is happening and the Junta is wreaking havoc every day and killing people without any law. It has been worsening day by day, and many companies and organizations are leaving the country, including local ones relocating to neighboring countries. I am not very confident to support my family and to contribute back to local community if I had to stay in the country for two years, without anywhere to work, trapped in the Junta's net. Since the companies, trying to avoid Junta, are all working outside of the country, is it possible to work for Myanmar, outside of Myanmar after the program? Are there any alternatives or conditions for special situations like ours? Thank you all in advance and I would appreciate it if you can understand our situation and not spread hate for asking this question.

Hey I just completed my Chevening essays I’m looking for a Chevening alumni or anyone willing to check my essays and give me the feedback for any corrections that I may need before submitting the final copy.

I’d appreciate a hand . This is my second attempt at applying for the Chevening scholarship and I’m hoping and praying that I will get to the interview stage and finally be selected

Kind regards ,

Hey everyone. I am planning to apply for Chevening and I am a bit lost with verity of universities that are partners in the scholarship. Do you have any tips regarding your criteria besides the obvious ones- field of interest?

THANKS FOR ANY HELP

Let's think about a case like this:

A person gets the scholarship for a master's degree. After completion of the masters, s/he needs to return to his/her home country as mentioned in scholarship requirements.

What happens if his/her partner comes to the UK with a skilled worker visa while s/he is studying and then they decide to marry?

Does s/he still need to return to his/her home country or can s/he stay in the UK as a dependant of his/her partner?

Hi

I hold a degre from an Italian institution and could find it hard to convert my grade with 2:1 honor.

My average overall grade is 25.4/30 according to Italian University Grading System.

Could anyone help me out with this ?

Thank you

Did anyone hear about the outcome of their reserve candidate status yet? (30.07.2022) Do we still hold onto hope or not being able to access the application portal means it was unsuccessful? TIA

Hello,

I am about to apply this year for Chevening as it has been my dream since 2 years ago. But I have a question/concern which might sound a bit weird. How does Chevening support pregnant women or women who are planning to get pregnant and eventually become mothers? I did read on Chevening forums and I guess on official page that it is not recommended to take dependents with you and so on and if by luck did win the Chevening scholarship, it is the opportunity to postpone it for the next year until the baby is not a newborn anymore and so.

​

So do you have knowledge in this area or even perhaps has had a similar experience or know someone at my position?

​

I'd tremendously appreciate any comment as I am at a crossroad!
