About DAAD Scholarships
The DAAD promotes the training of specialists from developing and newly industrialized countries through its development-oriented postgraduate study programs. Local experts who are well-trained and networked with international partners play an important role in their countries’ long-term development. They are the best assurance of a brighter future with less poverty, more education, and better health for all.

The DAAD scholarships provide foreign graduates from developing and newly industrialized countries with at least two years of professional experience with the opportunity to pursue a postgraduate or Master’s degree at a state or state-recognized German university, and in exceptional cases, a doctoral degree and a university qualification (Master’s/PhD) in Germany.
