German universities, like most universities around the world, maintain a broad network of international partnerships. The DAAD supports such international partnerships through a number of schemes that aim to foster cooperation among higher education institutions.
In the eyes of the DAAD, the end of a funding period marks the beginning of a long-standing relationship with us. We aim to stay in touch with our alumni as well as help you get to know one another through a serious of programmes and activities. We also support you in setting up regional DAAD alumni clubs and other forms of networking opportunities.
Study international Master’s programmes in European Studies, Food Business, Human Rights or Management for your career in international organizations and companies.
Are you passionate about designing the cities of tomorrow? Dreaming of shaping the skylines that define our world? Pursue your Master's in Architecture with the support of our scholarship! The application deadline is the 25th of September, so hurry up!
