DAAD Postgraduate Courses & Scholarships Available for Professionals from Developing Countries
Postgraduate Courses & Scholarships Available for Professionals from Developing Countries

With its Postgraduate Courses for Professionals with Relevance to Developing Countries, the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) has created an educational programme that has set several milestones on the way to attaining the Millennium Development Goals. This is because well-trained local professionals who are networked with international partners play an important role. They are the best guarantee for a better future with less poverty, more education, and good health for all.

The main goal of the postgraduate programmes is promoting the higher qualification of young, employed professionals in fields related to development policy. This next generation elite are offered the opportunity to acquire an internationally recognized university degree from a German university. When these scholarship holders return to their home countries, ideally back to the same organizations or government agencies, the knowledge that they acquired during the postgraduate course should put them in the position to contribute toward the further development of their countries. The university degree acquired in Germany thereby fills the formal requirement allowing programme participants to move into decision-making positions after the completion of their studies.

At the present, postgraduate courses are offered in the following fields: Economic Sciences/Business Administration/Political Economics, Development Co-operation, Sociology and Education, Regional Planning, Engineering and Related Science, Mathematics, Agriculture and Forest Sciences, Environmental Sciences, Medicine and Public Health.

A detailed description of the courses offered can be found in a booklet, which can be downloaded from the following DAAD homepage:

One of these programmes, the Master of Arts in Development Management (MADM), is not only offered at the Ruhr University Bochum (Germany) but is also offered at the University of the Western Cape (South Africa) with the possibility to earn a double degree from both universities. For more information on this specific programme, please feel invited to have a look at the following link or contact DAAD Office Cape Town (see contact details below).

• a first academic degree and
• several years of work experience in a governmental ministry, central agency or subordinate authority, in a chamber of commerce and industry, an enterprise or business, or as the employee of an NGO or development help project.
