Chevening Scholarship Programme for Indonesian Citizen

The British Chevening Awards programme, funded by the British Government (Foreign and Commonwealth Office) and administered by the British Council, has awarded over 1000 scholarships and fellowships to Indonesians since 1984.

Full scholarships are offered for one year Master degrees at United Kingdom universities and other professional institutions. The scholarship covers living costs, tuition fees and return airfares.

Candidates are able to apply to study any subject, but areas of particular interest are: Climate Change and Forestry, Counter-terrorism and International security, Democracy and Governance, Religion and Islamic Studies, Economic reform and International Trade, Human Rights, Conflict, Justice and Peace Building.
