The KP Cambridge Scholarship, a transformative PhD study in UK initiative, invites Pakistani students to pursue fully funded doctoral programs at the University of Cambridge, ranked #5 globally (QS World University Rankings 2025). Launched by the University of Engineering and Applied Sciences (UEAS), Swat, in collaboration with the Cambridge Trust and funded by the Government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, this fully funded PhD scholarships UK program fosters engineering research pioneers in fields like Civil Engineering, Computer Systems Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Material Sciences, Biological Engineering, and Manufacturing Engineering, starting October. Scholars contribute to global innovation while advancing Pakistan’s academic landscape.

The KP Cambridge Scholarship empowers scholars to engage in cutting-edge research at Cambridge’s world-class facilities, including the Whittle Laboratory, Cavendish Laboratory, and Institute for Manufacturing. Scholars collaborate with leading faculty on projects addressing sustainable infrastructure, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, synthetic biology, and advanced materials, with 45% of alumni securing faculty roles or industry leadership positions post-graduation. Aligned with Cambridge’s mission to drive global academic excellence, the program nurtures a diverse cohort of PhD researchers from Pakistan, enhancing cross-cultural collaboration in a globally renowned academic hub.

The scholarship champions global research synergy. Scholars join the Cambridge alumni network, connecting with peers, mentors, and industry experts through research symposiums, engineering conferences, and events like Cambridge Science Festival and IET Future Tech Congress. This inclusive framework fosters diverse perspectives, with 50% of scholars forming global professional networks. Campus activities, such as King’s College seminars, Fitzwilliam Museum lectures, or Cambridge Climate Tech Meetups, enrich the research-driven experience. UEAS Swat’s partnerships with Cambridge and regional institutions in South Asia enhance cross-border research, aligning with Pakistan’s development goals.

Studying in Cambridge, scholars explore landmarks like King’s College Chapel, Botanic Garden, or River Cam, immersing in UK cultural vibrancy.
