DESCRIPTION
DAAD MIPLC
SCHOLARSHIP STUDENTS FROM DEVELOPING COUNTRIES 2022-23 GERMANY
MIPLC students bring to our learning community a high level
of excellence expressed in a rich diversity of backgrounds, accomplishments,
talents, and interests. Students in past classes have consistently found this
special atmosphere to be very conducive to their studies – and great fun, too.
To be eligible for admission, applicants need to have at least a prior university or college degree, professional experience, and very good knowledge of the English language.
DAAD Scholarship for
Students from Developing Countries
MIPLC is a part of the DAAD's scholarship program for "Development-Related Postgraduate Courses". If you would like to apply for the scholarship offered in this context, please note that several special conditions apply.
WHAT IS COVERED BY THE
DAAD MIPLC SCHOLARSHIP?
The applicants of the Scholarship/Recipients will get:
- A full MIPLC fee waiver
- A monthly stipend of EUR
850
- 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 (cf. section 2a).
ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA BY
THE DAAD MIPLC SCHOLARSHIP
Please also refer to the brochure for "Development-Related Postgraduate Courses" for more information. Where MIPLC and DAAD requirements differ, the stricter one applies. You are eligible for the DAAD scholarship if you meet the following requirements in addition to the MIPLC admission criteria (cf. section 1):
- 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 hold at least a four-year Bachelor's degree (or a three-year Bachelor's degree plus a further degree), completed with above-average results.
- 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.
HOW TO APPLY DAAD
SCHOLARSHIP
Given the large numbers of applications we receive for each
class, we can only consider applications that are both complete and whose
documents are properly labelled. Following the instructions provided on this
page will help you to make your application a success.
In case, the current international public health crisis
brought about by the coronavirus prevents you from gathering all required documents
in time to meet the deadline, please submit your application without these
documents and attach a sheet that lists the missing documents, the reasons why
they are missing and when they will (in your best estimation) be available.
Please note that we only accept documents in PDF format
(except your photo).
If you are applying for admission, you can limit yourself to section 4.1. If you wish to apply for a fee waiver scholarship as well, both sections 4.1 and 4.2 are relevant. If you are also applying for the DAAD scholarship, all three sections 4.1, 4.2. and 4.3 apply.
APPLICATION DEADLINE
You have to apply
more than a year in advance, i.e. between June 1 and October 15 for the
following academic year.
APPLICATION AND
SELECTION PROCEDURE
Please refer to the Application Instructions for detailed
information.
Complete applications will be evaluated for admission on a rolling basis. From all admitted applicants, we will put together a shortlist of candidates, who will be invited for a video conference interview taking place in January or February. Based on these interviews, the MIPLC will pre-select the scholars and the DAAD will take the final decision in early March.
