About this position

DAAD is offering a doctoral scholarship in Germany for international students and researchers who want to complete a PhD/doctorate at a state or state-recognised higher education institution or a non-university research institute in Germany.

The programme supports either an individual doctoral project supervised by a university teacher or participation in a structured doctoral study programme. Research stays outside Germany may also be funded if they are essential to complete the doctorate and do not exceed one quarter of the total funding period.

Eligibility highlights: applicants should have above-average academic qualifications and must have completed a Master’s degree or Diplom, or in exceptional cases a Bachelor’s degree, by the start of funding. The selection process considers academic achievement, the quality and feasibility of the research proposal, language ability, and the applicant’s potential.

Funding: monthly stipend of €1,400, insurance contributions, a travel allowance (upon application), and an annual research allowance of €460. Additional support may be available for rent, accompanying family members, and disability/chronic illness-related costs. DAAD also offers language support, including online language course fees, possible pre-start language courses, a German course during the grant period, and reimbursement for TestDaF or DSH fees.

Language-related support: the announcement mentions reimbursement of TestDaF or DSH fees and funded language courses, which may help applicants prepare for study in Germany.

Location: Germany. Funding must begin in 2027. Applicants should review the DAAD scholarship database entry and follow the application requirements and procedure listed there.
