Salaam,
As many of you might know, I've been in Turkey for almost 3 years now and I've closely observed the systems here, and it saddens me too see that in Pakistani universities, at large, we're just teaching textbooks. Emphasis is more on solving the exams rather than picking up skills
Fortunately, in the age of internet, learning is no longer confined to the classroom (wait. Was it ever!)
I've personally found udemy a platform with loads and loads of tools to equip students to be better prepared for the work life that lies ahead.
So, I'd like to give back where I can.
Although there are a bunch of free courses online, the best usually are paid courses. And, I know, a lot of students either don't have means to pay for the courses, or, simply can't afford them. (I know I didn't!)
So, in order to overcome those two, I'd like to buy the three most deserving STUDENTS (in my eyes) a course each of their choice.
NOTE: I really want to do this for people who can't afford to buy them on their own, or don't have any means to buy them on their own. If you can afford to buy it yourself, please don't PM me as you'll be potentially taking away someone more worthy's spot.
Secondly, this is for CURRENTLY ENROLLED STUDENTS ONLY. The younger you are, the more your chances! I might throw in a 4th or even a 5th course in case I get kids who are in, say, O' Levels/Matric and want to pick up on skills from an early age.

So, how do you apply?
It's going to be a bit tedious but you'll have to bear with me.
PM me the following:
- Name
- School/College/University
- Level of education and degree. (If less than undergrad, simply specify which field you are aiming to pursue)
- Link to the course you're interested in
- A few words on what you aim to do with that course. (I don't want an essay! I just want to assess what your plans are and how useful that course will be to you!)
Optional but recommended:
- Your LinkedIn page
- A copy of your CV
I normally don't want to ask for people's CGPAs or grades because I don't believe that they truly depict potential as much as they should. Furthermore, there is a lot of variation between grading scales and methods from uni to uni. HOWEVER, if you feel the need to attach it along, by all means, go ahead.
PM me the stuff AND DONT keep PMing me in case I don't reply. I get more than 20 PMs a day and so it's very hard to reply to everyone. If you're a person who gets the course, you'll get the PM from me. Rest assured.
Finally, I'll be buying the courses on March 15, 5:00 AM Pakistan time, so, please PM me BEFORE that!
I know this got longer than it should've been, but oh well!
Good luck to you all, and happy learning!
Remember, PLEASE only PM me for a course if you actually plan on seeing it through and aim to use it ahead, be it for freelancing, or just another skill that you should have! If you want it just for the sake of it being a freebie, you're potentially taking up the spot of someone more worthy!
Ciao!
I'm also putting this up as an announcement so that as many students get coverage as possible.
Also, in case you guys have friends who would be interested, ask them to PM me too! There's no post requirement. Just that you've to be a student, and be deserving! I really believe we can fix our systems with education and each one of us has to play their part!
