DAAD MIPLC Scholarship in Germany For Developing Countries

For the DAAD MIPLC Scholarships, The Munich Intellectual Property Law Center (MIPLC) is offering awards to students from developing countries as a part of the DAAD’s program for “Development-Related Postgraduate Courses.”

With its development-oriented postgraduate study programmes, the DAAD promotes the training of specialists from development and newly industrialised countries. Well-trained local experts, who are networked with international partners, play an important part in the sustainable development of their countries.

The scholarships offer foreign graduates from development and newly industrialised countries from all disciplines and with at least two years’ professional experience the chance to take a postgraduate or Master’s degree at a state or state-recognised German university, and in exceptional cases to take a doctoral degree, and to obtain a university qualification (Master’s/PhD) in Germany.

Scholarship recipients will get

• A full MIPLC fee waiver

• A monthly stipend of EUR 934 (€11,208 annual stipend)

• Payments towards health, accident and liability insurance coverage in Germany

• A travel allowance, unless these costs are covered by the home country or by another funding source

• A study and research allowance

• A mandatory two-month German course before the start of the MIPLC LL.M. program (August and September, in Munich or another German city).

Since the DAAD scholarship includes a full fee waiver, you must apply simultaneously for MIPLC financial assistance.

To be considered for the DAAD MIPLC Scholarships, you must meet the following requirements:

• You are from a developing country (according to the OECD DAC list) and have not been living outside your home country (or another developing country) for more than the past two years.

• You received your latest degree no more than six years before your application.

• You have at least two years of full-time professional experience gained in a public authority or a state or private company in a developing country.

• To meet this requirement, it is sufficient if you have completed the two years by February of the year in which you intend to start your studies at MIPLC.

• Scientific university staff and academics are not the core target group of this program and are therefore considered only in exceptional cases.
