Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) — From 5 August to 7 October 2025, applications are open for the prestigious Chevening Scholarship, offering the opportunity to pursue a master’s degree at leading UK universities. The program provides full funding for any master’s program, along with access to a wide range of academic, professional, and cultural events.

For more than 40 years, Chevening has attracted hundreds of thousands of applications from around the world. Successful candidates are those who can demonstrate strong leadership skills, a clear understanding of their career goals, and the ability to build professional networks, supported by concrete examples.

Since 1994, more than 250 young leaders from Uzbekistan have been awarded the scholarship, studying disciplines such as public policy, sustainable development, law, finance, media, and other fields at universities including Oxford, the London School of Economics and Political Science, UCL, King’s College London, the University of Manchester, the University of Edinburgh, the University of Birmingham, and others.

UK Ambassador to Uzbekistan Timothy Smart emphasized that Chevening is a program for the brightest and most ambitious professionals: “Chevening alumni use the world-class education, international connections, and confidence they gain in the UK to drive meaningful and lasting change upon returning home — whether by tackling global challenges or contributing to the development of their communities. If you have leadership qualities, the ability to influence, and the skill to build professional networks, I strongly encourage you to apply. For those not yet ready, I recommend dedicating time to gaining experience that will make your application more competitive. I am inspired by the commitment and energy of the Chevening community and look forward to welcoming a new generation of its leaders.”
