This program, which started in 2013, focuses on developing superior graduates to accelerate their education to become doctors at a young age.
To get this scholarship, Zaidi had to take part in a series of selections carried out by two institutions at once. There is a selection held by the Directorate General of Higher Education and Technology and there is a selection at the campus of his choice, UPI.
"Even though I have just graduated, I am actually already studying on the PMDSU scholarship route. The course is specifically programmed. There are qualifications and requirements that must be met during the study, including "GPA and non-academic achievements. Scientific publications are also mandatory," said Zaidi.
In this program, Zaidi focuses on studying every day, reading research in a number of reputable journals and lectures. The schedule system is sometimes in the morning to attend a master's program class and in the afternoon to attend a doctoral program class. Apart from that, there are also several private classes with promoters.
