TWAS-COMSATS Postgraduate Fellowship Programme 2026

About this scholarship

The TWAS-COMSATS Postgraduate Fellowship Programme supports students from developing countries to pursue postgraduate study at COMSATS University Islamabad in Pakistan.

The TWAS-COMSATS Postgraduate Fellowship Programme is a postgraduate study opportunity offered by The World Academy of Sciences (TWAS) in partnership with COMSATS University Islamabad. It is designed to help students from developing countries continue advanced study in a scientific or technological field at a leading university in Pakistan.

This programme is generally aimed at students seeking Master's or PhD level study, depending on the current call and the academic programme available at the host institution. It is intended for applicants from developing countries other than Pakistan who wish to study full-time at COMSATS University Islamabad.

Support typically focuses on major study-related costs through the host institution and programme arrangements. The exact package can vary by call, so applicants should review the current fellowship announcement carefully to confirm what is included, such as tuition support and living-related benefits.

Applicants are usually expected to have a strong academic background in a relevant subject area, meet the admission requirements of COMSATS University Islamabad, and satisfy any TWAS nationality and residency conditions. Because this is a science-oriented fellowship, it is most suitable for students in fields such as engineering, computing, natural sciences, and related disciplines offered by the university.

Applications are normally made through the official TWAS fellowship process, with supporting academic documents and proof of eligibility. Before applying, candidates should check the latest programme guidance, eligible countries, available fields, and host department requirements on the official TWAS opportunity page.
