- Swiss Government’s ‘Excellence Scholarship for Pakistani Students’ for 2024-25.
- Scholarships are open to postgraduate researchers worldwide.
- Application deadline for embassy submission is September 30th.
Switzerland, in collaboration with the Higher Education Commission, is unveiling the ‘Excellence Scholarship for Pakistani Students’ for the upcoming academic year 2024-25 with the objective of promoting international academic collaborations and research partnerships.
Each year, the Swiss Confederation extends Excellence Scholarships to scholars and researchers from more than 180 countries, inviting them to partake in educational and research endeavors within Switzerland. These scholarships are open to postgraduate researchers across a wide range of fields, with a minimum qualification requirement of a master’s degree.
The program welcomes individuals aspiring to pursue research or advanced studies at the doctoral or postdoctoral levels in Switzerland.
The primary goal of the Swiss Government Excellence Scholarships is to provide educational opportunities for foreign researchers who have completed their master’s or doctoral degrees, as well as for foreign artists holding a bachelor’s degree. The selection process for scholarship recipients is overseen by the Federal Commission for Scholarships for Foreign Students (FCS).
Interested candidates can choose from various study categories, including one-year Research Master’s programs, three-year PhD programs after completing a Master’s degree, and one-year Post-Doctorate programs. Detailed information and application requirements can be obtained via email.
The embassy submission deadline for applications is set for September 30th, and additional information is accessible on the official website. This initiative underscores Switzerland’s commitment to nurturing academic excellence and fostering global research collaboration.
