DAAD Master Scholarships for Master Students From Sub-saharan Africa Fleeing the War in Ukraine


  • The DAAD has launched a special programme for Sub-Saharan African students whose studies are interrupted due to the war against Ukraine to continue/complete their studies in their home country or region.

  • The Scholarship programme for Master students from Sub-Saharan Africa fleeing the war against Ukraine is a subprogramme of the In-Country/In-Region Scholarship programme. It is funded by the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development and managed by the German Academic Exchange Service.

    Programme Objectives

  • The goal of the programme is to provide Master scholarships to students who are nationals of a Sub-Saharan African country and whose Master studies are interrupted because of the war in Ukraine. Scholarship holders are given the opportunity to continue their academic career at a higher education institution in their home country or within their home region (in Sub-Saharan-Africa).

    Requirements:

    Applicants must be students who:

    • Started their Master studies in Ukraine, hence had a student status at a recognised Ukrainian higher education institution on 24 February 2022 and fled because of the war;

    • Are nationals or permanent residents of a Sub-Saharan country;

    • Have successfully completed generally a three-year university degree (e.g. a Bachelor’s degree) with above average results (at least: Second Class/Lower Division or equivalent, if applicable);

    • Clearly show motivation and strong commitment;

    • Have thorough knowledge of the language of instruction;

    • Have generally completed their last university degree not more than 6 years ago at the time of application.

    Eligible Fields

  • The Scholarship Programme supports full-time higher education Master’s studies leading to a degree. Students may:

  • Continue their Master studies in the original study field started in Ukraine, or

  • If the original study field is not available, then in the Master programme that is the closest match for the original, or

  • Continue their studies in another Master’s programme of which they fulfil the admission requirements based on previous, recognised studies.
