About this position
The DAAD In-Country/In-Region Programme Sub-Saharan Africa supports development-related Master’s studies for graduates and postgraduates from Sub-Saharan Africa. The programme is designed for students who intend to contribute to higher education through future teaching and research careers in the region.
Current supported study areas span environmental science, agriculture, engineering, public health, biology, education and geography. Available programmes include Water and Environmental Engineering at Institut International d'Ingenierie de l'Eau et de l'Environnement; Seed Science and Technology, Molecular Cell Biology of Infectious Diseases and Agricultural Economics at institutions in Ghana; Environmental Health at Jimma University and Malawi University of Business and Applied Sciences; Plant Breeding at Chuka University; Research in Education at Moi University; Electrical Power Systems at the University of Rwanda; Geomatics at Ardhi University; Climate Change and Disaster Management at Busitema University; and Aquaculture and Fisheries Science and Irrigation Engineering at Lilongwe University of Agriculture and Natural Resources.
The programme offers both In-Country scholarships, for study in an applicant’s home country or country of residence, and In-Region scholarships, for study in another Sub-Saharan African country. The participating host institutions provide diverse research environments addressing water and environmental systems, crop improvement, infectious diseases, agricultural development, climate resilience, energy, geomatics, fisheries and higher-education research.
Additional programmes in Physics, Urban Studies and Mathematics are identified for a later publication period and are not part of the currently open list.
