Deadline: 30 Jun/30 Nov (annual)
Study in: Germany
Course starts September 2013
Brief description:
Sponsored Ad
The KAAD scholarships are addressed
to post-graduates and to academics who already gained professional experience
and who are interested in postgraduate studies (or research stays) in Germany.
This program is administered by regional partner committees, staffed by
university professors and church representatives.
Host
Institution(s):German Universities and Higher Education Institutions
Fields of study:
There is no specific
subject-preference. However, the selection board has often given preference to
courses and subjects that they felt to be of significance for the home country
of the applicant. This holds true especially for subjects of PhD-theses. There
is therefore a certain leaning towards “development oriented” studies – this
does however not mean that other fields (cultural, philosophic, linguistic,
etc.) can not be of significance for a country and are ruled out.
Number of
Scholarships:
Not specified
Target group:
Citizens of developing or
emerging countries in Africa, Asia, the Middle East or Latin America.
There is a preference for
Catholic applicants. Among the scholars there is however also a limited number
of: Protestant Christians, Orthodox Christians (especially from Ethiopia),
Muslims. Catholic Priests and Religious People are eligible only in very
rare cases. There are other scholarship programmes catering especially
for them.
Editor’s Note: For Muslim students, see the List of Scholarships for Muslims.
