How to apply for DAAD for MS in Germany?

Guys I’m a bit lost here :sweat_smile: can someone pls explain the whole procedure to apply for MS in Germany using DAAD? Like what’s the step-by-step thing? also how do they even select students and how do I apply for a DAAD scholarship??

First things first you need to apply to universities in Germany, DAAD is NOT the university itself. It’s a funding organisation that gives scholarships to study there. So first find a course (check DAAD’s portal it’s actually good), apply directly to the uni, and then apply for the scholarship separately on DAAD site. They ask for SOP, recommendation letters, transcripts etc. You gotta be really clear on why Germany & how your degree will help you in future.

If you want to do your Master’s in Germany with a DAAD scholarship, start by finding courses on the DAAD website (https://portal.daad.de) that offer funding. Check if you meet the requirements, then get your documents ready, like your CV, motivation letter, transcripts, and language test scores. You’ll need to apply to the university and also separately on the DAAD portal, usually between September and December for program starting next year. DAAD looks for good grades, relevant experience, and a strong reason for choosing the course. If you get selected, you’ll hear back by spring and can start your studies in the fall.
