DAAD Study Scholarships – Master Studies

The DAAD Study Scholarships – Master Studies are fully funded scholarships for international students to pursue a full master’s degree at a state-recognised university in Germany or to complete part of a postgraduate degree there as an exchange. The program provides a monthly stipend, health and liability insurance, travel allowances, and a study allowance, with language training built into the funding. It targets graduates who want to continue into postgraduate study across all disciplines, with some fields redirected to separate DAAD schemes.

Monthly stipend, health/accident/personal liability insurance contributions, travel allowance, annual study allowance, language training support

Applicants should hold a bachelor’s degree or equivalent and intend to pursue a full master’s degree in Germany; selection considers academic merit, study plan coherence, and relevance of chosen university, with some consideration of internships or research exposure.

Submit application via the DAAD channels with required documents such as motivation letter, transcripts, degree certificates, language proof, and a letter of recommendation; for full master’s degrees, provide programme information and, for exchange applicants, proof of home university recognition.
