DAAD Study Scholarships for Artists and Designers: Who Qualifies and What You Get

Learn how designers with a Bachelor's degree can secure monthly funding and travel allowances to study a Master's program in Germany.

This scholarship provides financial support for designers who want to pursue a Master's degree in Germany.

Who it's for

This program is for designers who already hold a Bachelor's degree and are looking to enroll in a Master's program in Germany.

What you get

If you are selected, you will receive monthly payments of €934. The scholarship also covers your insurance and provides allowances to help with travel costs.

What it costs you
