Tips from successful applicants

Volunteer or work experience with NGOs, flood relief or Afghan refugee programmes in Pakistan strengthens your statement
If your bachelor's was fully taught in English, ask for an official medium-of-instruction letter to claim the exemption
Fieldwork is in Africa and Europe, so budget time for multiple visas
