Funding for your stay abroad

financing options and give you advice on what you should consider when planning your stay abroad.

Many scholarship programmes involve lengthy application processes, which is why it is important that you inform yourself about the expected costs at an early stage and consider what financing might look like.

The German Academic Exchange Service (Deutsche Akademische Austauschdienst, DAAD) is the largest funding organisation for international academic exchange and offers a variety of scholarship programmes. Scholarships are awarded on the basis of subject-related qualifications and personal suitability. The application documents must be sent directly to the DAAD.

Within the framework of the PROMOS programme, funds from the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) can be used to fund one-semester stays abroad worldwide (not at Erasmus partner universities).
