The Higher Education Commission (HEC) has taken an important step to provide opportunities for Pakistani students to pursue higher education through the Development-Related Postgraduate Courses (EPOS) program.
This initiative aims to support students who are interested in obtaining a Master’s degree in various fields from recognized German universities.
The EPOS program covers a wide range of disciplines, including Economic Sciences/Business Administration/Political Economics, Development Cooperation, Engineering and Related Sciences, Regional and Urban Planning, Agricultural and Forest Sciences, Natural and Environmental Sciences, Medicine and Public Health, Social Sciences, Education and Law, and Media Studies.
?This diverse set of fields ensures that students from various academic backgrounds can find suitable opportunities to pursue their desired areas of specialization.
Overall, this initiative by the HEC opens doors of opportunity for Pakistani students to pursue higher education in Germany and contribute to development efforts in their respective fields.
To be eligible for the program, Pakistani graduates must possess at least two years of professional experience and hold a relevant Bachelor’s degree obtained through a four-year-long course. These requirements ensure that candidates have a solid academic foundation and practical experience to make the most of the program.
The scholarship program not only provides financial support for students but also emphasizes the importance of development-related work and social responsibility.
Selected students are expected to use their education and training to initiate and support positive changes in their personal and professional environments.
This highlights the program’s focus on producing graduates who are not only academically competent but also committed to making a meaningful impact in society.
Students who are interested in applying for the scholarship program can visit the website of the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) for detailed information and application procedures.
The DAAD website provides comprehensive guidance on the program, including eligibility criteria, required documents, and important deadlines.
