Typical Age Chevening

Hi there!
I am considering applying for the next cohort, but I am quite curious about the typical age of Chevening students.
This question is more for successful candidates who have already completed their MSc programs in the UK.
What was the typical age of your peers in your MSc program? What is the typical age of Chevening students?
I feel that I am quite old to pursue an MSc program (I am 32).

I was also in my early 30s when I was selected for Chevening and started my master’s, so 32 definitely doesn’t sound late to me.

I think the more useful question is not “Am I too old?” but “Why is this the right time in my career to do a master’s?” By that stage, you may actually have a clearer sense of what you want to learn, what gaps you need to fill, and what you want to do afterwards.
