This programme is designed to further qualify future leaders
in politics, law, economics and administration according to the principles of
Good Governance and to prepare them in a praxis-oriented course for their
professional life.
The programme offers very good graduates with a first
university degree the chance to obtain a Master’s degree in disciplines that
are of special relevance for the social, political and economic development of
their home country. With the knowledge and experience acquired in Germany the
scholarship holders should later contribute to the establishment of democratically
oriented economic and social systems aimed at overcoming social tensions. In addition,
the training at German institutions of higher education should especially
qualify the scholarship holders as partners in political and economic
cooperation with Germany. With this programme, DAAD intends to contribute to
the support of Good Governance and civil society structures in selected partner
countries and regions.
The scholarship scheme is open to candidates from Africa,
Latin America, South Asia, Southeast Asia as well as from countries in the Middle
East.
The scholarships are for Master courses at a German institution
of higher education. The successful candidates will study on one of the selected
Master courses listed below. The courses have an international orientation and
are taught in German and/or English.
The scholarship holders will study in groups and be offered
a special DAAD-financed tutoring at their host institutions. Furthermore, there
is the possibility of networking events for participants in different courses
and their attendance at tailor-made summer-schools.
Before taking up their Master studies the scholarship
holders will be placed on German courses for normally 6 months (this also
applies to scholarship holders in Master courses taught in English).The language
courses take place at selected institutes in Germany and not at the
universities.
