DAAD- Scholarship Programme
Various Post-graduate degree courses
Deadline: August 31, 2008
Website: www.daad.de
The postgraduate degree courses in Germany with relevance to developing countries aim to qualify junior experts and executives from developing countries in fields such as trade, business and administration. These postgraduate degree courses offer career-based and practice-oriented initial and continuing training. Their content focuses on key development policy questions and they stand out by delivering practice relevant know-how.
The typical scholarship holder will come either from a public authority or state or private company in a developing country and as such be engaged in the planning and execution of directives and projects with emphasis on development policy having a bearing on technological, economic or social areas.
Thus, apart from a university degree relevant to the postgraduate course, it is required that candidates have at least two years’ of related professional experience in order to qualify for a full or partial scholarship. The level of the monthly scholarship installment is based on the scholarship holder’s level of qualification (as a rule Euro 750 or Euro 1000). The funds for this scholarship programme are provided by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development.

1. DAAD Application form, with recent photo
