PhD is the highest level of education that can be acquired in a particular field. A Pakistani student who has keen interest in one particular topic and is driven to research in that particular field in detail, must go for a PhD for their pursuit.
Even though a Pakistani student is high performing during their master’s program and want to pursue PhD degree in the world’s leading universities on scholarship, they must gear up to face tough competition, since there are very limited amount of seats available for the PhD level.
Each year thousands of Pakistani students get enrolled in PhD degree program in foreign universities on scholarships and financial aids.
