i think it went well and lasted an hour. Two professors interviewed me, very friendly. One asked about my background, current and previous work and research experiences, plans, chosen university. The other asked about my proposal; it's like I am defending my proposed research. Both of them were very particular about my research knowledge and experiences. There were 15 of us who were shortlisted and it is up to DAAD how many will be awarded.

Hi Greta, good luck!

I have also applied for PhD at ZEF. I did not received any interview call. How did you get to know that they shortlisted 15 applicants?

Hello Kanwal, good luck on your application as well. I  am not so sure though about this whole process. This is the first time i applied on daad.

Received an email last week of nov for a skype interview invitation. I was suppose to reschedule the interview in dec 2 because of the storm passing by in the philippines. However, the prof in zef said that they have to rearrange the interview not later than dec 4 for they're going to start the second process of culling the shorlisted applicants.

Have asked a lot of questions after the interview and they were open to some details re the selection process. He said that they couldnt disclose my ranking, but shared that there were 15 who passed the first screening.

I only applied at ZEF because I don't know the exact process on applying three universities. Although i have already research on the web, it's really confusing on my part. I just found that for zef, they will screen and admit the applicants first to BIGS-DR, then they will nominate them to DAAD for funding.

Hello Henry, congrats.

The last time i heard from them was in december before the holidays. They said that i will receive a separate email from daad for funding either last week of january or early february.

How about you?

Hi! I submitted an application to Heidelberg University with DAAD scholarship. They said applicants should hear back from them by the end of December 2019. If I didn't receive any email, should I assume I wasn't admitted and move on? Anyone in the same situation??

Congrats!!!! I am happy for you. I heard from them on December 10 with a confusing email. But they told me that I have been put in a short waiting list in a case a candidate position opens up or if an additional scholarship arises. But they also asked me to submit a new DAAD file signed and work certificates before the holidays, which I also did. But I am assuming that my chances to make it for the scholarship is thiner by now. Anyway, Congrats for making it that far!

Thank you Henry. I've seen on their website that they will assist shortlisted applicants on seeking external funding as well. I'm wishing you all the best.

Hello Everyone,

Have you all recieved an scholarship?

I am still in the process. I had applied for EPOS. I have uploaded my documents to the portal on 12.06.2020. My status is just changed to 'Selection Made'. What does it mean?
