    The German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) awards funding for a research stay of 7 – 12 months to doctoral candidates at any Germany university.

    Introduction


    The research is carried out with a supervisor in Germany, whom applicants must identify themselves. The primary aim of the programme is to fund research projects in Germany in the context of an ongoing PhD.

    A candidate is enrolled for their PhD in their home country and obtains the PhD in their home country. With the One-Year Research Grant they can apply to conduct research in Germany between 7 – 12 months. The scholarship holder can access and benefit from state-of-the-art research infrastructure and equipment in Germany during their stay and so enhance their entire doctoral research.

    Degree Level: PhD

    Deadline: 15 October

    A good eight months are needed to prepare a convincing application. The German supervisor must be identified at least eight months before the deadline and the research proposal must be prepared thoroughly running up to the deadline.

    Who can apply?
    • PhD candidates from Sub-Saharan Africa who have started their PhD less than three years.

    Fields of Study

    The research grant can be taken up for all fields.

    Scholarship Benefits

    No tuition fees are charged in Germany for this sort of research on PhD and postdoc level. The scholarship covers living costs, travel and health insurance for the scholarship holder.

    • Monthly scholarship payment for living costs: 1200 EUR;
    • Health insurance;
    • Travel allowance between Germany and home country;
    • Research allowance;
    • Rent subsidies and family supplements, if applicable.
    Application Process

    A letter of invitation from a German supervisor is needed for the DAAD funding application. Candidates must identify their own supervisor in Germany. The DAAD Information Centre Johannesburg (contact details below) can be contacted for more information.

    The DAAD funding application is online through the DAAD application portal. More details can be founded under the links below.
