The German government, through the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD), sponsors a variety of post-graduation research in Germany. Especially of note will be the DAAD Study Scholarship for a full Master’s degree program in all academic fields except the visual/performing arts, available to graduating seniors or recently graduated students. Knowledge of German is NOT required IF the program is taught in English.
You can find more information on the scholarships here, application instructions on the Master’s scholarship here, and further application instructions for all different kinds of scholarships here. A database for the more than 20,000 different programs is here.
For the Master’s Studies scholarship, Wesleyan University is a DAAD Partner University, which means that the university is able to nominate one priority candidate and submit further evaluations of each applying candidate. Any interested student should contact Prof. Martin Baeumel at mbaeumel@wesleyan.edu.
The deadline for internal submissions via email is October 13, 2025, the deadline for submission to the DAAD is October 31, 2025.
