Germany: One-Semester Scholarships for University Students Reading German Studies: Australia

Overview

These one-semester scholarships provide foreign students reading German studies, German as a foreign language, or translation studies with an opportunity to spend a semester studying at a state-recognised German higher education institution.

Duration

One-semester scholarships are awarded for the summer (1 April) or the winter semester (1 October) and cannot be extended.

Amount Awarded

The DAAD pays a monthly award of 615 euros, a flat-rate payment toward travel and luggage expenses, a health insurance allowance and a book allowance. The one-semester program for students reading German studies is run at selected university departments in Germany. These departments provide scholarship holders with a guidance-counselling tutor. The DAAD is responsible for placing scholarship holders at the host higher education institutions, although, as far as possible, the wishes of participants will be taken into consideration.

Requirements

Applications for DAAD one-semester scholarships are open to excellently-qualified students reading German studies, German as a foreign language or translation studies and who, when they begin the scholarship-supported semester, have successfully completed their second or third academic year.

Besides their academic achievements, the most important selection criterion is a convincing presentation of the academic and personal motives for the planned study semester in Germany.


Application papers

Detailed information on the application papers which need to be submitted can be found on the Application Form for "Research Grants and Study Scholarships" ("Antrag auf ein Forschungs-/Studienstipendium"), which can be obtained here. Note on Point 10 of the Application Form: One-semester scholarship holders are not expected to have their own research project. Instead, we request a detailed description of your past studies and of the planned core study areas for the stay in Germany.
