DAAD scholarship
Application including DAAD-scholarship
for citizens of developing countries only!
The German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) offers a limited number of scholarships to highly qualified applicants. The current call for applications and necessary application documents for the scholarship for an EPOS study program can be found on the DAAD's website.
The programmes ISATEC and Marine Biology have been merged to form a single MSc programme with two study profiles. From the winter semester 2020/21 on, ISATEC is a study profile in the MSc programme Marine Biology!
The application therefore has to be for Marine Biology (choose the subject “Marine Biology DAAD” in the online application portal, if you want to apply for ISATEC in combination with a DAAD scholarship from the “Development-Related Postgraduate Courses” programme).
Deadline
for the combined application for the 2025 ISATEC programme
15th October 2024
The Online Application Portal will open on 01st August.
Further information on DAAD scholarships
Students wishing to participate in the ISATEC programme must have completed their undergraduate studies and need to hold a Bachelor of Science (B. Sc.) in biological/environmental sciences with
- an overall grade of at least 2.5 according to the German grading scheme (1.0 equals "excellent", 2.0 "good", 3.0 "satisfactory", 4.0 "sufficient", and 5.0 "fail".
- Grades from international applicants will be converted to the German grading scheme by the university administration.
- Applicants for the DAAD scholarship have to be citizens of developing countries with at least two years of professional working experience.
The typical scholarship holders work either for a public authority or a state or private company in a developing country and, as such,are engaged in the planning and execution of directives and projects with emphasis on development policies having a bearing on technological, economic or social areas.
They have development-related motivation and can be expected to make full use of their scholarship and education by taking on social responsibility later in their careers, acting as agents of change who stimulate and support development in their personal and professional surroundings.
