Description
These one-semester scholarships provide foreign students reading German studies, German as a foreign language, or translation studies with an opportunity to spend a semester studying at a state (public) or state-recognised German higher education institution.
Eligibility
Applications for DAAD one-semester scholarships are open to excellently-qualified students reading German studies, German as a foreign language or translation studies and who, when they begin the scholarship-supported semester, have successfully completed their second or third academic year.
Besides their academic achievements, the most important selection criterion is a convincing presentation of the academic and personal motives for the planned study semester in Germany.
Duration
One-semester scholarships are always awarded for the winter semester, run for five months and cannot be extended.
You are normally required to take an English Proficiency Test if you come from a non-English speaking country.
Most European Universities recognise the IELTS test. More information
Benefits
The DAAD pays a monthly award of 650 euros, a one-off start-up grant, a one-off book allowance and, where appropriate, a rent subsidy. As a rule, the scholarship additionally includes certain payments towards health insurance cover in Germany. Furthermore, the DAAD generally will pay an appropriate flat-rate travel allowance, unless these costs are covered by the home country or by another funding source.
The one-semester programme for students reading German studies is run at selected university departments in Germany. These departments provide scholarship holders with a guidance-counselling tutor. The DAAD is responsible for placing scholarship holders at the host higher education institutions, although, as far as possible, the wishes of participants will be taken into consideration.
