Overview
DAAD EPOS scholarships for graduates from eligible developing and newly industrialised countries to take selected development-related postgraduate courses in Germany.
Complete scholarship details
The current DAAD EPOS programme supports selected postgraduate courses for the 2027/28 intake. Funding is normally 12 to 42 months and includes monthly payments of EUR 992 for graduates or EUR 1,400 for doctoral candidates, plus insurance and travel support subject to programme rules. Deadlines vary by course and applicants apply to the relevant course, not directly to DAAD.

Applicants are graduates from eligible developing or newly industrialised countries, normally with at least two years of professional experience, an appropriate degree, strong academic performance and development-related motivation. Course-specific academic and language requirements also apply.
Tips for this scholarship
Practical Job and Scholarship guidance. These tips do not replace official rules or create new eligibility requirements.
- Check eligibility, funding coverage, study/project level and every required document before investing time in the application.
- Prepare transcripts, references, language tests, proposal/motivation statement and proof documents early.
- Separate the scholarship deadline from any university/program admission deadline; they may be different.
- Treat “fully funded” as a source fact only when the official provider explicitly confirms the covered costs.
