Applications are currently ongoing for the DAAD/MIPLC Postgraduate Scholarship for International Students from Developing Countries.
MIPLC is a part of the DAAD’s scholarship program for “Development-Related Postgraduate Courses”. The LL.M. program is a non-consecutive “program of further study” (in German: “weiterbildender Studiengang”). Under German law, such programs are designed for professionals and are thus open only to applicants with a minimum of professional experience gained after the completion of the first university or college degree. All applicants to MIPLC are therefore required to have at least one year of full-time professional experience.
