KAAD Scholarships in Germany for Developing Countries
KAAD
Masters/PhD Degree
Deadline: 30 Jun/15 Jan (annual)
Study in: Germany
Course starts: 2014
Description:
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.) cannot be of significance for a country and are ruled out.
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), and
Muslims. Catholic Priests and Religious People are eligible only in very
rare cases. There are other scholarship programmes catering especially
for them.
