The scholarship offers future leaders an opportunity to pursue a fully-funded one-year master’s programme in any subject in universities across the UK.
Hasnain, a practicing lawyer at the High Court of the territory was chosen from a big pool of 70,000 applicants from across 170 countries. He is now a proud recipient of the scholarship along with 1400 other students from across the world. He would now proceed to study LLM in Human Rights from Queen Mary University.
