Pakistan's Edge in Global Competition
Dr. Rehman highlighted the exceptional competitiveness of KFUEIT students and their peers across the nation, stating that the Erasmus Mundus Master Scholarship is one of the most exciting and prestigious opportunities available.

Achieving competitive scores in English language proficiency requirements.
Thoroughly researching and understanding their programs of interest and mobility pathways.
