Pakistani student wins kudos
Staff Report
ISLAMABAD: Discipline of science is not the only road to academic excellence and students of humanities can do equally well provided their potential is effectively harnessed, says Pakistani student Aleenah Masood who has proven her assertion by being selected for the Erasmus Mundus Scholarship 2012 by the European Union.
The student has been awarded this scholarship in the field of social sciences and humanities to study at Lund University in Sweden which is one of Europe's most prestigious universities and Scandinavia's largest institution for education and research, consistently ranked among the world's top 100 universities.
The EU-sponsored scholarship is aimed at selecting and educating brilliant students from all over the world who do not have enough resources to get quality higher education abroad. Aleenah Masood, studying in BS Social Sciences at Shaheed Zulfikar Ali Bhutto Institute of Science and Technology (SZABIST) Islamabad Campus is one of the only two Pakistani students picked under this scholarship out of the huge number of applicants from different public and private sector universities.
She has been selected on the basis of her deep interest and excellent academic record in the subjects of arts. Aleenah who always found science subjects hard to study says parents should not force their children to study in this discipline, as science may not be every students cup of tea. Even the students of arts can win kudos and our country needs professionals other than scientists, doctors and engineers too, she believes.
What is important, according to Aleenah, is that students should have dedication and they should work hard to achieve excellence no matter whichever discipline they opt for.
