According to Fouzia Younis, Head of Communication and Public Diplomacy at the British High Commission, women have been forming a majority, almost 60 percent, of its intake for the last two years.
“Chevening provides opportunities for all. For the last two years, we have smashed our 50 percent target on gender, with talented Pakistani women forming nearly 60 percent of our intakes. I encourage even more applications from across Pakistan and minority groups. There are no limits on ambition,” she added.
