Join our Chevening network, study in the UK!

Some of you that are reading this blog post might be young professionals, public servants, leading or working in civil society organisations, enthusiasts about business and innovation, or maybe you see yourselves as future leaders in Macedonia? You might also be thinking about spending a year abroad, developing your skills in a quality international environment. Well then, maybe UK can offer something for you, being a country which has 4 of the 10 best universities in the world, and many more internationally well-ranked schools. This might be an opportunity for you to blend higher education with developing your leadership skills and a bonus of networking with many brilliant people from all over the world.

You might be asking yourself what is the added value for you? In the past two decades Chevening has provided fellowships and scholarships for master studies for Macedonian citizens at prestigious universities in the UK. Chevening has helped create leaders in many sectors such as politics, civil society, judiciary, banking, research and policy development, gender, creative industries, arts and culture. Our alumni include Macedonian leading politicians in government and opposition, banking, leaders in the civil society sector, as well as prominent figures in judiciary, art developers, artists and creators.

By becoming a Chevening scholar you get the chance to become part of a global network of over 42 000 leaders, an extensive and excellent network of people. Through the Embassy we have worked with some of our former Chevening scholars in Macedonia and I have to say, there are some astonishingly good people.

Check online your eligibility to apply for a Chevening, choose UK university where you can study one-year master studies in Political Science, Public Policy (Justice and Home Affairs/Defence, Finance and Economics, and Innovation and Business management.
