German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD)
The most important place to turn to for students from around the world wanting to study in Germany is the German Academic Exchange Service (Deutscher Akademischer Austauschdienst, DAAD). The DAAD is a joint institution of the German universities. Its goal is to support German universities’ international relations by means of academic exchanges of students and researchers as well as international programmes and projects. The DAAD therefore has a worldwide network of branch offices, lecturers and alumni associations and also provides individual information and advice. It sees itself as an intermediary of foreign cultural policy, higher education and science policy as well as academic co-operation.
Important functions of the DAAD:
- awarding scholarships in order to support international studies and continuing education as well as academic research to international and German students, graduates, trainees, young scientists and university lecturers
- supporting German scholars and lecturers in all academic fields (including German language, literature as well as regional and cultural studies) with regard to long- and short-term lectureships at international universities
- providing information on study and research opportunities in Germany and abroad by means of publications and similar as well as providing individual verbal and written information
- supporting former scholarship holders, especially those abroad, through get-togethers and other events as well as programmes for supporting international students at German universities
