Study internationally with a HAW.International scholarship
The German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) supports the international mobility of students at universities of applied sciences (HAW) with its HAW.International programme. Funding is available for study visits and periods abroad to write final theses in all subject areas.
The aim of the programme is to enable students in practice-oriented degree programmes to gain international experience and, at the same time, to strengthen cooperation between German universities of applied sciences and partner universities worldwide.
Current scholarship applications
The Bonn-Rhein-Sieg University of Applied Sciences awards partial scholarships for stays abroad with funds from the Federal Ministry of Education and Research and the DAAD Partial scholarships for stays abroad. These are awarded on the basis of academic qualification and personal suitability.
For the first time, H-BRS is awarding Erasmus+ scholarships for internships outside of Europe! Depending on the destination country, the scholarship rates are between 540 and 700 euros per month. Apply now! Details about the tender can be found in the LEA group via the following link:
