The University Brunei Darussalam has recently been granted patents which are working towards improving technology and initiating cutting-edge research that could have commercialization opportunities. It’s recent Robocon team developed a robot that could maneuver a route and perform certain tasks and currently the team is developing another robot but due to technological constraints they require new fresh minds, hence are very keen on the scholarship that could bring in potential people and be a part of the project.

The University of Technology Brunei currently has one of the top Civil Engineering department. The University recently signed a Satellite Partnership with 4 other local institutions in order to open up more research and study pathways for students.

The Higher Education Commission of Pakistan will be handling the application process and will be available for any sort of help students require.
