About this position
DAAD is offering Study Scholarships for Postgraduate Studies in the Fields of Fine Art, Design, Visual Communication and Film in Germany. This is a master’s/postgraduate scholarship for international students and researchers with a first university degree in an arts-related field.
The programme supports either: (a) a master’s/postgraduate degree at a state or state-recognised German university, or (b) a complementary study/project period without a final degree, linked to a professor or instructor at a German art university. The connection to a university in Germany is mandatory for complementary studies and must be confirmed by supervision documentation.
Research/study areas: Fine Art, Design, Visual Communication, Film, and related artistic/creative practice. The scholarship is intended to support artistic development, exchange of experience, and networking.
Funding: monthly stipend of 992 euros, travel allowance (upon application), one-off study allowance, and health/accident/personal liability insurance contributions. Additional support may include rent subsidy, family allowance, disability/chronic illness-related extra-cost support, Green Mobility Top Up or carbon-offset reimbursement, and German language course support. DAAD explicitly states that tuition fees are not covered.
Eligibility highlights: applicants must hold a first university degree in the field of arts. For degree programmes, the scholarship cannot fund a master’s/postgraduate programme that has already started in Germany. For German-taught study or work, a language course may be compulsory. Applicants may also need to take an entrance examination at the host university.
Application process: submit documents via the DAAD portal. After the formal check, applicants may be asked to submit an artistic portfolio. The final decision is made by a DAAD committee of professors from German art, design, and film schools. Applicants should also check the admission requirements and deadlines of the chosen university, since scholarship confirmation does not automatically guarantee admission.
Timing: the scholarship usually starts on 1 October of the following year (or earlier if a German language course is taken before the study programme). The page does not provide a single application deadline in the text shown.
Funding details
Full funding including tuition fees and living expenses is available for this position. The scholarship covers all educational costs and provides a monthly stipend.
How to apply
Please submit your application including a cover letter, CV, academic transcripts, and contact information for two references. Applications should be sent via the online portal before the deadline.
