The scholarships give foreign graduates with a minimum of two years of professional experience from developing and newly industrialized nations the opportunity to pursue a postgraduate or master’s degree at a state-recognized German university or, in exceptional circumstances, a doctoral degree and to earn a university qualification (Master’s/Ph.D.) in Germany.
