Chevening is looking for individuals who have a clear post-study career plan. Please outline your immediate plans upon returning home and your longer-term career goals. You may wish to consider how these relate to what the UK government is doing in your country. Strengths: Outline of specific, concrete goals, which usually, therefore, seemed more convincing and achievable. Weaknesses: Applicants did not give a strong rationale, which made a potential clear career path unconvincing. Many applicants illustrated a desire to do a PhD in the post-study section. This is ambitious and realistic but wasn’t always a convincing career goal on its own. List reasons why you want to pursue research work and how it plays a part in their longer-term ambitions. Career plans were too often poorly developed and it was not possible to discern how a Chevening Scholarship would be of benefit.
