The British Council is the UK’s leading international organisation for educational and cultural relations.  The Council partners with organizations in Serbia and in the UK to showcase British excellence, innovation and creativity for the benefit of the individual and for the mutual benefit of the UK and Serbia.  In the UK, the British Council is registered as a charity.

The Council administers the Chevening Scholarship Programme, a prestigious awards scheme that funds international postgraduate students who want to study in the UK.  Funded by the UK’s Foreign and Commonwealth Office, and administered by the British Council, the scheme operates in over 150 countries and annually provides funding for over 2,300 students.

The scholarships fund a whole year of postgraduate study or no less than three months’ courses in the UK only.  The scholarship funds most Masters courses, running over a period not less than three months up to 12 months.

The Chevening scholarship is a prestigious award that gives the chance to experience a world-renowned educational system.  In addition, this provides scholars with the opportunity to experience UK life and meet other Chevening scholars.  Once you become a Chevening scholar, you will discover many opportunities to develop your career and become a future leader in your field. Chevening scholarship cannot be used for undergraduate or PhD study.

The Pexim Foundation will work closely with the British Council to develop the cooperation model which bests suits the goals of both organizations and the needs of interested students.
