University Winter Courses 2023

Applications for University Winter Courses for the academic year 2023/2024 are now being accepted from eligible international students. Candidates for the Undergraduate & Postgraduate are eligible for this program.

This Partial Funding scholarship is an opportunity awarded to qualified international Undergraduate and Postgraduate students. This program is sponsored by DAAD and hosted by German institutions. The program funds attendance of language and regional studies courses that are offered by state or state-recognized German universities and by affiliated language schools. The program aims to help improve the candidate’s knowledge of German language as well as German regional and cultural studies.

DAAD is a private, federally funded and state-funded, self-governing national agency of the institutions of higher education in Germany, representing 365 German higher education institutions (100 universities and technical universities, 162 general universities of applied sciences, and 52 colleges of music and art) [2003]. The DAAD itself does not offer programs of study or courses, but awards competitive, merit-based grants for use toward study and/or research in Germany at any of the accredited German institutions of higher education. It also awards grants to German students, doctoral students, and scholars for studies and research abroad. With an annual budget of 522 million Euros and supporting approximately 140.000 individuals world-wide, the DAAD is in fact the largest such academic grant organization worldwide. The organization was founded on 1 January 1925 but closed down in 1945, only to be re-founded again in 1950.
