We have also put together a short summary of formal eligibility criteria. If you do not fulfill these criteria, you will not be considered for the DAAD scholarship. However, you are still welcome to apply for admission to the MIPLC, provided you fulfill the MIPLC admission criteria.

If You Have Questions Concerning the DAAD Application Form and Requirements

Section 6, "Duration of planned stay in Germany": The start and end dates of the academic year 2012/13 have not yet been set. The program will probably start in early October 2012 and will end in mid-September 2013 (date of submission of Master's Thesis). The exact dates will be announced in due time in our academic calendar.

The MIPLC does not require a "research exposé" (DAAD brochure, page 12). Therefore, you do not have to (and should not) submit such an exposé.

For any other questions you may have concerning the DAAD Application Form (e.g., "What should I enter in section...?"), or the DAAD requirements (e.g., concerning the documents to be submitted as per the DAAD's brochure), please contact your nearest DAAD office.

The MIPLC cannot answer any questions related to the DAAD. The MIPLC can only answer questions related to the MIPLC's own requirements.

Processing Information

As a first step, all complete applications will be screened by the MIPLC and processed for admission. All candidates will be informed by the MIPLC whether or not they have been admitted to our LL.M. program. If you do not get admitted to the MIPLC, your DAAD scholarship application will not be considered, either.

From the list of admitted candidates, the MIPLC will then put together a shortlist of candidates for the DAAD scholarship. Once this list has been confirmed by the DAAD, all shortlisted applicants must undergo a telephone interview.

The final decision about allocating the scholarship rests with the DAAD. The successful applicant(s) will be informed by the DAAD directly. All unsuccessful applicants will receive communication from the MIPLC.

You should learn about the outcome of your application by late February of the new year. In the meantime, please refrain from contacting us or the DAAD to ask for status updates.

Special Application Deadlines

You must apply (more than) a year in advance.

The deadline for applications is October 15. Your complete file with all required documents (this includes your English test scores) must reach the MIPLC by this date. Late or incomplete applications cannot be considered.

Please send your documents in good time to ensure their timely arrival at the MIPLC. We are regrettably not in a position to track your files with the German postal service or any courier services.

Applicants from Cameroon, Myanmar, or Nigeria must submit their application file to the German Embassy in their home country. The deadline for such applications for the 2012/13 intake was July 31, 2011. Applications from Cameroon, Myanmar, or Nigeria for the academic year 2012/13 therefore can no longer be accepted. We ask for your understanding.
