In this section, you are asked to answer a series of short essay questions on the

following areas: leadership and influence; relationship-building and shared learning;

studying in the UK and your long-term career goals.

As you are aware, Chevening is the UK Government’s international awards programme

aimed at developing global leaders. This section allows you to provide examples of
your leadership skills and potential, and to describe how you would use your time in the
UK to develop professionally and academically, build professional networks, and build
lasting positive relationships with the UK.

Please use examples to support your answers. All answers must be a minimum of 100

All answers must be written in English. Applicants should not repeat answers to any of
the essay questions, and should enter new and original answers for each of the four
