Dear Sir/Madam,
I am Akhsa Zubair from Pakistan. I got my primary school and secondary school education from local
school. My major subjects during secondary school education are Biology,Physics, and
Chemistry.Fromchildhood, I want to become a medical officer. I want to provide my potential through
this
profession to benefit people’s lives. I am very good at my studies.I am applying for the stapendium
hangrium scholarship ,through this opportunity I would be able to gain world-class education and
exposure to international research institutes, which will be helpful for my academic aspirations. I want to
get higher education from a foreign country. So, when I heard about this scholarship, I thought this is the
best chance for me to fulfill my dreams. Moreover, Hungary is rich in cultural heritage, stunning
landscapes, and welcoming people, drawing me to this beautiful country.
Also, Hungary has an excellent education system, particularly in the field of healthcare. It is renowned for
its high standards and new advancements. So, I thought this program would provide me with an
opportunity to experience a new educational system and its quality.
Through this program, I expect to gain a deep understanding of medical knowledge as well as skills
necessary to provide high-quality patient care at hospitals. I belong to a rural area of Pakistan.There I see
multiple patients who are suffering from various diseases, and for treatment, most of them are not
financially so strong that they go to hospitals in the cities and will take proper facilities.
So, after gaining knowledge of the human body, I want to provide my services to my local people.My
background knowledge is also in sciences. I completed my primary school education with major subjects:
biology, physics, chemistry, English, and mathematics, with 1042 marks out of 1100, A+ grade in all
subjects. And I completed my secondary school education also with sciences.My major subjects during
secondary school education were biology, physics, and chemistry. I completed my education with 1022
marks out of 1100 with an A+ grade, so I already have knowledge about human anatomy and physiology.
So, a health science nursing program at Semmelweis or Debrecen University will provide me with
advanced knowledge, skills, and qualifications necessary to achieve my career goals.
Upon completing the program, I plan to return to Pakistan and work as a nurse in hospitals and also as a
nurse educator, sharing my knowledge and experience with the next generation of nurses. In the long
term, I aspire to assume leadership roles in healthcare policy and administration, working to improve
healthcare outcomes.
As my country faces numerous challenges, including a shortage of healthcare professionals,
infrastructure, and facilities, by gaining advanced knowledge and skills in nursing, I aim to contribute to
addressing these challenges.
As I am female, I want every girl to have the right to get knowledge and prosper in society. So, after
gaining knowledge, I will specially train other girls in Pakistan in this specialty. So, in the future, these girls
are also able to contribute their role in Pakistan’s and global prosperity.One thing is that I know studying
in a foreign country can be challenging, particularly in terms of cultural adaptation, language barriers,

food, and homesickness. But I am ready to face these.I am too much flexible .l like meet up with new
culture, customs and people. Upon completing the program, I plan to return to Pakistan and pursue a
career in nursing education and research. I aspire to work as a nurse and sharing my skills to new
generation. Thank you very much for considering my application. I look forward to this opportunity.
Sincerely
Aksha
