Funded by the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) and partner organisations, Chevening offers two types of awards - Scholarships and Fellowships. The scholarships are for one year Master's in any subject at a recognised UK University. The fellowships offer specifically designed courses aimed at mid-to-senior level professionals who are looking to expand their knowledge and expertise in their specific field of work. The programmes are tailored short courses which run for approximately 8 weeks at a designated UK university. Chevening offers a unique opportunity for future leaders, influencers, and decision-makers from all over the world to develop professionally and academically, network extensively, experience UK culture, and build lasting positive relationships with the UK. Numbering over 50,000 worldwide, Chevening Alumni are an influential and highly regarded group. They have an excellent record of rising to positions of leadership across a wide range of fields including politics, business, the media, civil society, science and technology, and academia. The primary objectives of the Chevening Fellowship programme are: - To promote UK political, economic and commercial interests in priority geographic regions - To promote UK institutions, culture and values - To forge lasting ties with future leaders, opinion formers and decision makers in politics, government, business, journalism, science and technology and civil society - To achieve outcomes aligned to FCDO priorities The Chevening Gurukul Fellowship Programme for Leadership and Excellence forms the centrepiece to the Chevening India Programme and has become an exclusive, high profile, flagship fellowship course. The programme has been running for 25 years. The aim is to expose India's future leaders to the UK's top opinion formers and decision-makers within Government, politics, industry and civil society and to enable them to build a network of UK based contacts with a view to the UK becoming their international partner of choice in their chosen field. The twelve week long programme is designed for high calibre mid-career professionals working in government, politics, civil society, the media and the private sector. The fellowship is currently delivered at the University of Oxford and each year up to 12 Indians are carefully chosen for the fellowship.
