DAAD MIPLC Scholarship 2025 in Germany For Developing Countries (Fully Funded)
The 2025 DAAD MIPLC Scholarship is currently open for interested African students willing to pursue a postgraduate degree in the Munich city of Germany.
For the DAAD MIPLC Scholarships, The Munich Intellectual Property Law Center (MIPLC) is offering awards to students from developing countries as a part of the DAAD’s program for “Development-Related Postgraduate Courses.”
With its development-oriented postgraduate study programmes, the DAAD promotes the training of specialists from development and newly industrialised countries.
Well-trained local experts, who are networked with international partners, play an important part in the sustainable development of their countries.
The scholarships offer foreign graduates from development and newly industrialised countries from all disciplines and with at least two years’ professional experience the chance to take a postgraduate or Master’s degree at a state or state-recognised German university, and in exceptional cases to take a doctoral degree, and to obtain a university qualification (Master’s/PhD) in Germany.
The DAAD MIPLC Scholarship is fully funded by the DAAD Foundation and it covers the full tuition fees of selected students as well as an annual stipend of €11,208.
Successful candidates also get travel, research, and study allowances as well as the free opportunity to learn the German language for two months.
