STUDY IN GERMANY
(POSTGRADUATE OPPORTUNITIES):
After listening to your feedback and requests from many
other ESE members we have decided to take a closer look at the many opportunities available for
students from developing countries hoping to study in Germany.
Within this post Equal Student Exchange focuses on the many
programs within the DAAD Framework.
DAAD or Deutcscher Akademischer Austausch
Dienst is the German Academic Exchange Service Organisation. DAAD is the
largest funding organisation in the world supporting the international exchange
of students and scholars. As an organisation which works with many German
institutions of higher education and student bodies, DAAD provides a
wide range of scholarships.
It also goes far beyond simply awarding grants and
scholarships. DAAD also works to internationalize German Universities and
export German language and cultural understanding. Furthermore DAAD has worked
towards assisting
developing countries in establishing effective universities and advises
decision makers on matters of cultural, education and development policy.

While the majority of DAAD past scholarship/award winners have
been from the United States, DAAD may be focusing towards strengthening the
U.S.-German relationship through supporting both undergraduate and postgraduate
exchange programs. However, there are also some postgraduate opportunities
for students from developing countries:
The scholarships offered by DAAD for the programmes Postgraduate
Courses with special relevance to Developing Countries are provided by the
Federal Ministry for economic Co-operation and Development.
These degree courses, which consist of one to two years of
concentrated study, provide academically-trained young professionals in first
leading positions from developing countries with the opportunity to engage in
postgraduate education and training in their particular field or profession.
Within this program is the MIPLC
(Munich Intellectual Property Law Centre) as well as a number of other partner
German institutions.
For those interested in German language, culture and work
opportunities you may find the Goethe
Institute worth visiting:
