Study Scholarships: Postgraduate Studies in the Fields of Fine Art, Design, Visual Communication and Film

Through this scholarship program, you can pursue a postgraduate or ongoing course of study in fine art, design, visual communication, or film and continue your studies in Germany. The grants also encourage networking and experience sharing among coworkers.

Admission to one of the institutions is not always assured by the confirmation of a scholarship. The individual university makes the decision of whether or not to grant scholarships. Generally speaking, candidates must pass an admission exam. Please inquire as soon as possible about the prerequisites for admission, the dates for the interview, and the application deadlines at the university of your choice. Keep in mind that these may be many months ahead of the time you had intended to begin your studies or even before the DAAD grants the scholarship. The expense of the admission exam is not something we can pay. The recipient of a scholarship given by the DAAD may not utilize it if they are accepted into any of the institutions listed on their application but are not admitted to any of them.
