The China Scholarship Council (CSC) has initiated research and study opportunities for Pakistani researchers and students in Chinese universities to enhance collaboration between the educational systems of the two countries.
China’s government has designated the Higher Education Commission (HEC) for these scholarships for the academic year 2024–2025 on behalf of the Government of Pakistan.
The primary goal of the initiative is to create and promote educational opportunities for foreign students and researchers pursuing bachelor’s, master’s, or PhD degrees.
Applications for the program can be submitted to the relevant HEC portal or the CSC’s portal by December 28.
For further details, applicants can visit the official website, according to local HEC sources.
According to the official HEC website, the CSC — entrusted by China’s Ministry of Education — is responsible for the enrollment and administration of the Chinese Government Scholarship Program.
Furthermore, only those applicants are considered under the Chinese Government Scholarship Program 2024-25 who have a valid Higher Education Aptitude Test (HAT) or Higher Education Undergraduate Studies Admission Test (USAT) score (obtained after January 01, 2022).
The designated Chinese universities offer a wide variety of academic programs in Science, Engineering, Agriculture, Medicine, Economics, Legal Studies, Management, Education, History, Literature, Philosophy, and Fine Arts.
