Scholarships

Scholarship Organisations and Funding Lines

Since the very beginning of the MADM programme in 2000, a limited number of DAAD-scholarships within the DAAD programme "Development-Related Postgraduate Courses" (Entwicklungsbezogene Postgraduiertenstudiengänge, EPOS) has been available for MADM participants from developing countries. For information of the DAAD programme please look at the respective section of the DAAD website. For further information about the prerequisites, please follow the link to the section "Application requirements". For the DAAD application form (to be submitted to the IEE), please click here.

The application deadline for the 2022-24 intake of the MA in Development Management in combination with a DAAD-EPOS scholarship has expired.

Applications for the intake 2024-26 can be submitted from January through September 30, 2023.

Other Scholarship Options

Apart from DAAD, other organisations in Germany also provide support opportunities for foreign members of institutions of higher education. The DAAD scholarship database offers information not only on various kinds of DAAD funding for foreign students, graduates and postdocs but also on funding offered by other selected organisations.

Some of these organisations are also listet below; a few of them regularly support participants of the MADM.

Applicants are requested to contact these institutions directly for further information but keep us informed about any scholarship applications. Some of the institutions are represented abroad. If there is an office in your country, you should first contact it there. Please get the addresses from German embassies.

The course application deadline for students who are planning to apply for scholarships of other donor organisations individually is 31 December 2021 at the Institute of Development Research and Development Policy.

Applications via other scholarship organisations (DAAD regional scholarship schemes, political foundations etc.) are subject to the individual deadlines of these organizations and will be conducted on an individual basis.
