BRITANNIA GROUP OF ISLANDS: Surigao del Sur’s Best Kept Secret

Studying in Germany?/Studieren in Deutschland ? (II)

The German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) is a joint association of the German higher education institutions and is responsible for promoting academic relations with institutions abroad, above all by awarding scholarships. Its programmes are open for all countries and all subjects, and aim to benefit foreigners and Germans alike, In addition, the DAAD supports the international activities of Germany's higher education institutions by providing various services - such as information and publication programmes, advice, support and guidance - and by playing an advisory role in the formation of foreign cultural, education and research policy. 

I learned this during my last stay in Manila while meeting DAAD-lecture Miss Natalie Lange (just being back from Indonesia!), who holds office at the University of the Philippines Diliman, Faculty Center in Quezon City.

For detailed information on all the activity fields of the DAAD please go to http://www.daad.de.

Hopefully and with the support of the DOST - Department of Science and Technology, some time this year an information event will be launched also in Davao City. 

Scholarships for foreign advanced students, graduates and holders of doctorates are awarded for study, research or continuing training stays at state and state-recognized education institutions as well as non-university research institutions in Germany.

General information on study opportunities in Germany and on the contact addresses for the German universities can be found on the following website: http://www.hochschulkompass.de or in English http://www.higher-education-compass.de.

By the way: the level of German language skills required depends primarily on the planned study or research project. Foreign students who wish to matriculate at a German university, must, as a rule, be able to prove that they are adequately proficient in the German language. Where can I study the German language in the Philippines? Check out my Goethe    Institute Manila link on this website (Important links), where you can also find several partner schools, i.e. the University of Southeastern Philippines in Davao City, where I am teaching German as faculty member since almost three years now.

More specific information will be following soon this website - and hopefully in future personal a DAAD info point in Davao City too.

Studying in Germany? Studieren in Deutschland?

It would be a good choice. 

During my last stay in Manila, I was able to meet DAAD-Lektorin Natalie Lange, from the German Academic Exchange Service (Deutscher Akademischer Austausch Dienst) with main office at the University of the Philippines Diliman, Faculty Center, Department of European Languages, Quezon City.

After an interesting brainstorming I learned that the DAAD is also planning to open a branch office for consultations in Davao City with Engineer Dietmar Speckmaier.  I'll be meeting Dietmar Speckmaier also soon this coming week. Hopefully I can report more about our plan here on my website soon.

Studying in Germany! Sure, many are interested, but many more questions are coming up.

Studieren in Deutschland! Klar, viele sind daran interessiert, aber noch viel mehr Fragen kommen auf.
