MIPLC & DAAD Scholarships in Germany for Developing Countries

MIPLC & DAAD Scholarship for Students from Developing Countries

To be eligible for admission, applicants need to have at least a prior university or college degree, professional experience, and very good knowledge of the English language.

From among the large number of postgraduate courses offered by German institutions of higher education, the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) supports a carefully chosen selection of programs of particular interest to junior executives from developing countries. 

These degree courses, which consist of one to two years of concentrated study, provide young, academically-trained professionals in leading positions from developing countries with the opportunity to engage in postgraduate education and training in their particular field or profession.

The courses are open to all eligible candidates. 

Applications are welcome from professionals with personal financial resources, from those who are funded by their government or company, or from those who are recipients of financial support from international sponsoring organizations. 

In addition, a limited number of full DAAD scholarships are available. 

The DAAD only awards these scholarships for postgraduate courses supported in this funding program.

Benefits

Scholarship recipients will get:

A full MIPLC fee waiver

A monthly stipend of EUR 850

Payments towards health, accident and liability insurance coverage in Germany

A travel allowance, unless these costs are covered by the home country or by another funding source

A study and research allowance

A mandatory two-month German course before the start of the MIPLC LL.M. program (August and September, in Munich or another German city).

Since the DAAD scholarship includes a full fee waiver, you must apply simultaneously for MIPLC financial assistance

 Eligibilities

You are eligible for the DAAD scholarship if you meet the following requirements in addition to the MIPLC admission criteria:

You are from a developing country (according to the OECD DAC list) and have not been living outside your home country (or another developing country) for more than the past two years.

You hold at least a four-year Bachelor’s degree (or a three-year Bachelor’s degree plus a further degree), completed with above-average results.

You received your latest degree no more than six years before your application.

You have at least two years of full-time professional experience gained in a public authority or a state or private company in a developing country. To meet this requirement, it is sufficient if you have completed the two years by February of the year in which you intend to start your studies at MIPLC. Scientific university staff and academics are not the core target group of this program and are therefore considered only in exceptional cases.

Eligible Regions: Developing Country according to the OECD DAC list.
