My DAAD scholarship in Germany

2 October 2008 by jandrewz

I have received quite a number of queries on how I got my scholarship here in Germany. The DAAD or the Deutscher Akademischer Austausch Dienst, or in English, the German Academic Exchange Service granted me a two-year scholarship to pursue a MSc in Environmental Governance programme at the University of Freiburg.

There are other courses that being funded by the DAAD. If you’re from a developing country, like the Philippines, browse through their catalogue for 2009/2010. These are the courses they support under their ‘potgraduate courses with relevance to developing countries’ facility.

I have other colleagues who got scholarships from other organizations for which you may also be eligible to apply (may you be from the Philippines or elsewhere). If you are interested, just send me a note or leave a comment.

Dear Addisu,

Thanks for your inquiry. I am not in any way connected to the administration office and I am not aware of requirements for the course in which you are interested in. The most I can help you with is provide you this link:

It contains information on courses you can apply under the facility ‘programmes with relevance to developing countries.’

Regards and good luck!

I am neither a staff of DAAD nor the university. I suggest you get in touch with them directly via email.

Best regards and good luck.
on 23 May 2009 at 8:19 am jandrewz

Hi,

I cannot offer special assistance as I am just like any student and scholar of DAAD. I have no special access or contacts with them, and it doesn’t work that way in Germany. Check the link to the DAAD document of postgraduate studies with relevance to developing countries. Also, try getting in touch with DAAD scholars who are from Ethiopia, and maybe they could be of help to you as well. Unfortunately I do not know of anyone.

Best regards.

Hi Jan!

It’s good to know that there’s a Pinoy in Freiburg! Haha! Im very interested in taking up the MEG programme and have browsed through the application. In fact, the DAAD deadline’s nearing (Oct 15 at the MEG programme!)

I’d just like to ask if TOEFL or IELTS is still required for us Pinoys as proof of our command of the English language? Or can I just submit a “Certificate of English as Medium of Instruction” that can be issued by my university?

Maraming Salamat!

Hi Farzana,

Try browsing through http://www.daad.de/development and start from there. Good luck on your application!
on 21 August 2009 at 8:10 pm jandrewz

Hi Monch,

You’re right, a certificate stating that English is the medium of instruction in your university will do. Just to be sure, also ask the Program Coordinator (Esther Muschelknautz). Her email address is in the website.

Walang anuman and good luck on your application!
on 11 September 2009 at 6:01 pm Janice

Hi Jan!

First of all, my apologies if you already mentioned anything about the question I’m about to ask in your previous blog entries, but I’d like to know : What motivated you to learn German? Is it solely because you wanted to apply for a DAAD scholarship, or is it a combination of wanting a DAAD scholarship + a variety of other personal/professional reasons?

I’m curious to know because I’m also interested in applying for a scholarship. The thing is, I’m not quite sure if learning German solely for the purpose of applying for a scholarship is the way to go, given the time and costs involved and the uncertain chances of being awarded a scholarship. Would you suggest that I spare myself the hassle of learning a new language and instead go for scholarships that won’t require knowledge of any foreign language?

on 27 September 2009 at 9:15 pm jandrewz

hi, kindly browse through the previous comments to see how i can help you.
on 27 September 2009 at 9:17 pm jandrewz

better ask th university in germany where you plan to study and see if they can credit the courses you have taken in india. best of luck!
on 27 September 2009 at 9:28 pm jandrewz

Hi Ruthie,

Living in Germany motivated me to learn German. But prior to getting here, I took a short German course (30 out of the 45 hours!) while still in Manila just for the heck of it, even without still knowing then whether I would get the scholarship and live in Germany or not.

Just a slight correction, knowledge of German is not a prerequisite in my scholarship. Although if you apply in one of the Stiftungs while already here, it usually a given that you have a working knowledge of the language. I would like to think you get some plus points for German proficiency when also applying for uni admission because it would give you a headstart in adapting in Germany. If you are still in the uni, I suggest you take up another international language (i.e., French or Spanish) or the language of the country where you want to study. Treat it as an investment for the future and a long-term goal to visit the country, given the uncertainty of actually getting a scholarship.

Dear Sir/Madam
I am Habte Mengistu from one of the developing country Ethiopia, and I am 23 years old. I have first degree in Architectural Design Technology from Adama University, Ethiopia. Now I am working in Arba Minch University, Ethiopia as technical assistant III. After my first degree to continue education is difficult because of my family back ground and current salary in Ethiopia. But I am so interested to study in Germany due to its ranking publicity and the education influence towards the community. I am humbly requesting for a chance to sponsor me in my university education. I am so interested in Building Technology and I need your help to my Msc. Thanks for your consideration.
Yours faithfully,
Habte Mengistu.
on 27 October 2009 at 8:22 pm jandrewz

Dear Habte,

I am not officially affiliated with DAAD. In fact, my scholarship is already over. Kindly browse through the comments below and for sure you’ll find something that could lead you to a DAAD scholarship!

Good luck!
