If I opt for two courses, will I get a scholarship for one of them to manage other expenses in UK for a Master's?

No, a UK scholarship generally cannot cover expenses for a second concurrent master's course. Scholarships like Chevening or Commonwealth are tied to one named program, and visa rules restrict full-time students from studying two degrees at once. Consider a dual degree or sequential study instead.

If you are hoping to stretch one scholarship across two courses in the UK, the direct answer is no. Your scholarship, whether it is Chevening, Commonwealth, or a university award, is tied strictly to the single program named in your award letter, and UK student visa rules do not allow you to study two full-time degrees at once.

What You Might AssumeWhat Actually Happens

Your Better Options

  • Look for a structured dual degree or Integrated Master's offered as a single package by the university, budgeted and evaluated as one path.
  • Complete one master's degree first, then apply for a second later, checking whether Chevening or alumni discounts support a subsequent qualification.

My Advice

Before you assume you need two separate courses, ask your target university's international office whether they offer a dual degree or Integrated Master's that combines both interests into one funded package. If a true dual degree does not exist, budget for your primary course now and revisit the second one after you graduate, when alumni funding often becomes available.
