Overview
DAAD supports eligible Cabo Verde applicants pursuing a full doctorate at a state or state-recognized university or research institution in Germany, with funding planned to begin in October 2027.
Complete research opportunity details
The award can support an individual doctorate or participation in a structured doctoral programme in Germany for up to four years. The German Embassy Lisbon's Cabo Verde scholarship page lists the programme in the 2027/28 country offer.
Eligibility requirements
Applicants generally need above-average academic qualifications and, by the start of funding, a qualifying Master's or equivalent degree, subject to the programme rules. DAAD also applies recency rules for the last degree and, where a doctorate has already started, the doctoral start date. Applicants normally must not have been resident in Germany for more than 15 months at the application deadline.

- Confirm funding duration, stipend/salary, tuition coverage, start date and eligibility for international applicants.
- Contact a supervisor before applying only when the official instructions recommend or require it.
