Deadline for Applications: February 15, 2021
Application Procedure
As the M.Sc. WASTE is now a part of the EPOS-DAAD Program, there will be two different application procedures and periods from now on. Hence, we highly recommend to check all online application guidelines again:
Application Procedure A: Self-financed studies (Application period – Winter Term 2021/2022: 15.11.2020 – 15.02.2021). Deadline: February 15th, 2021 (23:59 – CET Central European Time) for Winter Term 2021/22
Application Procedure B: EPOS-DAAD Scholarship (Application period – Winter Term 2021/2022: 01.08.2020 – 30.09.2020) Deadline: September 30th, 2020 (23:59 – CET Central European Time) for Winter Term 2021/22
Keep in mind that the EPOS-DAAD Program offers a chance for outstanding international professionals (List of eligible countries) to finance their studies in Germany. Due to the limited number of scholarships, applicants under the application procedure B could be granted admission to the M.Sc. WASTE without an EPOS-DAAD scholarship. In such cases, the applicant must self-finance his/her studies, and no further application steps must be completed.
Objective of DAAD-EPOS Scholarship program
With its development-oriented postgraduate study programmes, the DAAD promotes the training of specialists from development and newly industrialised countries.
