From shortlist to application.

Identify whether the CSC opportunity uses a bilateral Type A route or a university Type B route. Complete every portal and institutional step specified in the current call.

Before you commit
For research degrees, discuss project fit with the department or potential supervisor. A supervisor’s acceptance letter is not the same as a scholarship decision.
  1. Identify programmes that accept your qualification. Ask admissions about equivalence if your Pakistani award is not clearly listed.
  2. Read the individual course requirements and deadline. Confirm language evidence, prerequisites and any selection test.
  3. Prepare your academic records, references and personal statement. Follow the institution’s instructions for certified documents.
  4. Submit through the university or its designated national portal. Keep your account, receipts and application number.
  5. After an offer, check the student visa procedure for applicants residing in Pakistan and prepare the required financial evidence.
