Are you preparing for the Chevening Interview? We made this Mock Chevening Interview, and we hope you find it useful. Drop your comments and questions. We are here to help.
Hey guys! This was a great mock interview which I am sure will help many persons seeking the Chevening Scholarship. However, I think it's necessary to say that for anyone watching, you must not have had as much experience and exploits as the interviewee for you to get the scholarship. So don't feel that u haven't done as much and so can't make it. See how u can present the 'little' u have done, in the best possible manner.
I am preparing for my interviews in 12 days and I am so grateful for this video! I will come back with goodnews🎉 Thank you Gideon , you are raising great leaders in Africa
Glad I got to listen to this before essay writing. His angle of response to the judges' questions is relatable and interesting to listen to. Thank you for this

Chevening Scholarship in UK 2020-21 Round is open for all the international Students from all around the world to pursue Master Degree. opportunitiescorners.info/chevening-scholarship-2020/
because they asked me who is going to sponsor your course of studies. i told that chevening scholarships funded by FCO and partner organisations. so the university asked me to produce an acceptance financial sponsorship from FCO. so please guide me in this respective course.
Now i am scared, i mean with all that he has said in this mock interview (real or not), he has achieved a lot. For some of us who don't have alllll these achievements, do we even stand a chance?????
Awesome video, thank you for the effort in helping candidates! The work done by this guy is amazing, I hope to get a chance to meet such awesome people if approved. Btw, the mock interview starts at 2:27.
Many sincerest thanks for you effort, guys! This is very much appreciated, and is one of the greatest materials relating to the Chevening interview. Well done on putting this together in such a concise and helpful way. With you lots of luck in everything you do.
This was very helpful, i watched and listened to it a number of times. I came back here with an attitude of gratitude to say i am a beneficiary of your work even though we have never met. Keep it up
This guy is a guru@Gideon.I like the energy,confidence and humour in his facial expressions.I hope to sound like him or even more if the opportunity calls.Happy Belated Birthday @Gideon.I'm extending greetings from Micheal Mmadubueze's desk to you.I also want to appreciate Anul,Mayowa and the beautiful skinned Chevening Alumni with her handsome colleague beside her.You guys are simply wonderful.The dots were well connected.You have set me on a journey with your inspirations.Thank you Scholar's Diary!...

This was a good one. He's clearly an overachiever. Wait, so having unconditional offers by the time of your interview stands you in good stead? Wow now I know!
Humbled by your kind words, but people do not have to have done much for them to make the interview and be selected for the scholarship. While offers are not neccessary, they can be important .
good video, but I'm wondering if what was mentioned is all from the essay contents, should be ? read a tip somewhere to stick to your examples because they were impressing and what actually got you to the interview
Thank you for making such insightful video, it has given me a good portrait of what to expect. I wish to ask, when they as for examples about how you have built and utilize networks, can you mention the examples you have used in your networking essay or you should bring up new ones? And SHOULD you use the examples you have used in your networking essay or you should not use the examples in your networking essay? Thank you so so much once again.
Is this scholarship applicable for students going to Royal college of arts and design London, because it was not included in the last in the official website
Hello, I'm a home tutor for 4 years. Sometimes students come over to study in my house and sometimes I go to tutor them to their house. Could Private Home Tutoring be counted as work experience?
I did my interview on 7 March and thank God I was able to watch your mock interview video a night before my interview. It was really very helpful. But please do the interviewers expect the applicant to know so much about the University choices to the extent of knowing the Professors in them like demonstrated here?
CHIOMA BENJAMIN-PUJA Not necessarily. But the more you know, the better. Many of us didn't know the names of professors, but we knew enough about the school, its strengths and our courses.
Thank you verymuch for the video it was really helpful, i have a question me and my sister applied for chevening and both been shortlisted for the interview,is this going to effect the final decision in any case? Do you have any idea ?
It should not affect anything. You guys have proven to be worth the selection to this stage, if you both do well at the interview, you'd both get it. Chevening believes in equal opportunity and does not discriminate AT ALL.
I am still on a dilemma about taking my master degree first and choose other scholarship because I am a fresh graduate or I apply for a job and doing my expertise there and finally apply for Chevening scholarship to improve my personal and professional skill
this was very useful for me thank you, I have an interview this Friday (15 Feb) by MasterCard Foundation scholars program at Edinburgh University. So, is it ok to focus on my main points to every question I'm asked at the interview rather than speaking a lot of time? pls answer me
Focus is important, but you must show off your strength while doing that. Guage the atmosphere in the room, and get a sense of how much time you have, then use that to your advantage. Its always best to focus on the main things. All the best, brother.
now I am one of the candidates this year 2020-2021 please any recommendation you have for me and when its available to know whether my application is taken forward or is still under reviewing?
Hello, really nervous about the application process and this video seems very helpful but what if I do not have such an extensive professional background as this mock applicant? I am still very young but I have a vision that I just need the extra educational footing to make happen. Will I seem enough to take the chance with for Chevening or should I just back out now?
