surroundings (motivation, commitment to development).

necessary to ensure successful completion of the degree programme
in Germany (final scores on previous academic examinations,
language skills),
3) Women and candidates from disadvantaged groups who meet the
required academic and professional standards and show proven
commitment to development-related issues are especially targeted
for programme admission.

and, as such, is engaged in the planning and execution of
directives and projects with emphasis on development policies
having a bearing on technological, economic or social areas.

German skills at completed level A2 are required. In addition,
German language courses at level A2 or B1 are highly recommended.

following pages.
– Note: It is not possible to pass the required
German language courses (DSH or TestDaF) without any previous basic
knowledge in the German language (at least A.2.1 Level), even with
the preceding six-month, intensive course in Germany. Passing the
language test is a formal prerequisite for graduating from the
German university
– For courses in English: IELTS (Band 6) certificate or TOEFL
(minimum score: 213 computer based, 80 internet based)
Note: Some courses may expect different level. For detailed

c) Proof of current work situation:
All applicants should state their current work situation at the time of application and submit the following proof: Certificate(s) of employment that include the exact position and period of employment; a letter of reference from the employer(s), ideally guaranteeing re-employment after completion of the postgraduate course in Germany.
d) Statement of motivation:
Applicants must submit a statement of motivation explaining why they are interested in attending a particular postgraduate course with reference to their current employment.
e) Application formalities:
If you have no private financial resources or cannot obtain a scholarship from your government, company or an international organisation, you may apply for a DAAD scholarship – either full or partial. DAAD application forms are available on the DAAD website.
DAAD Section 431 confirms all applications received for the postgraduate courses via e-mail to the applicant. Sending a complete application with no missing documents is a definite advantage. Later submission of belated, individual documents should be addressed directly to the postgraduate course, not to the DAAD.
Applications sent via e-mail to the DAAD cannot be considered during the selection process.
Applicants are asked to state whether they are able to pay for cost of living expenses and their studies in Germany themselves or whether they can only complete the postgraduate course with financial support from a DAAD scholarship. Qualified applicants for whom self-financing is possible, have a good chance of being accepted by a postgraduate course.
Please note: Scholarships cannot be awarded without the official DAAD application form. Many courses, however, have their own forms, which must be submitted in addition to the DAAD application form (see details under course description).
f) Application deadlines for DAAD-scholarships:
Application deadlines may vary from university to university. Please check the relevant deadlines in the booklet. One application per postgraduate course is sufficient. If you send the complete application to the DAAD, you do not need to send the same application to the university as well.
IMPORTANT: Late applications cannot be considered!
g) Admission: The postgraduate course and/or the university decide on admission after consideration of the application documents. Admission to the university is a prerequisite for receiving a DAAD scholarship. However, applicants do not need to request early or pre-admission to the university.
Please Note:only those who are granted the scholarship will be notified via E-mail by the DAAD headquarter. You will then obtain the original scholarship documents from the DAAD Jakarta.
