experience and for mid-career professionals.

What is fundable?
The scholarships are for Master courses at a German institution of
higher education. The successful candidates will study on one of the

orientation and are taught in German and/or English. The scholarship
holders will study in groups and be offered a special DAAD-financed
tutoring at their host institutions. Furthermore, there is the
possibility of networking events for participants in different courses
and their attendance at tailor-made summer-schools.
Before taking up their Master studies the scholarship holders will be
placed on German courses for normally 6 months (this also applies to
scholarship holders in Master courses taught in English). The language
courses take place at selected institutes in Germany and not at the
universities.
- Monthly Stipend: DAAD pays a monthly scholarship rate of currently 750 €. The
scholarship also includes contributions to health insurance in Germany.
In addition, DAAD grants an appropriate travel allowance as well as a
study and research subsidy and in applicable cases rent subsidies and /
or family allowances. DAAD-scholarship holders are exempt from tuition
fees.
Requirements
In addition to the completed undergraduate studies (Bachelor or
equivalent) and the study results, the main criterion for selection is a

for the study project in Germany and the expected benefit after the
return to the home country.
For Master courses taught in German or in German and English, good
knowledge of German (ideally at completed A 2 level at the time of
application) is an advantage for being able to pass the German language
test required for admission to the Master programme at the end of the
six-month preparatory German course. For courses taught in English,
proof of good knowledge of English is required. (For more details please
check the admission requirements for the selected course.)
The university degree should have been obtained during the six years
