Chevening thoughts from new Pakistani Chevening scholars

Four of our new 2011/12 Chevening Scholars from Pakistan share their thoughts with us as they embark on their Chevening experiences. Imtiaz Ahmed, Khurram Ali Mehran,Shakeel Ahmed and Zameer Abbas are among the 23 Pakistanis who were awarded a Chevening Scholarship. Chevening Scholarships are for talented people who have been identified as potential future leaders across a wide range of fields including politics, business, the media, civil society, religion and academia. Most scholars undertake a one year master’s degree.

We start with Imtiaz Ahmed talking about his hopes and expectations of Chevening.

Khurram Ali Mehran is a PR specialist in Pakistan, and will be studying Media and Communications.

Shakeel Ahmed is leaving for the UK to study International Law at the University of Edinburgh.

Zameer Abbas, from Gilgit-Baltistan, is studying Governance and Development Studies at the University of Sussex.
