From shortlist to application.
Apply through the institution’s international-admission process. Research applicants can check current CAPES PEC-PG nationality and nomination conditions.
Public tuition policy does not resolve admission rules or teaching language. Verify financial evidence and study-visa conditions, and check professional recognition for regulated degrees.
- Identify programmes that accept your qualification. Ask admissions about equivalence if your Pakistani award is not clearly listed.
- Read the individual course requirements and deadline. Confirm language evidence, prerequisites and any selection test.
- Prepare your academic records, references and personal statement. Follow the institution’s instructions for certified documents.
- Submit through the university or its designated national portal. Keep your account, receipts and application number.
- After an offer, check the student visa procedure for applicants residing in Pakistan and prepare the required financial evidence.
