DAAD Master Studies for All Academic Disciplines 2022-2023

Let's make our wait easy by sharing our updates 

[sarah96]

Hi, thank u for creating this topic. I have applied for DAAD's architecture postgraduate programs. I was wondering if there will be interviews for this specific program or not, since from what I read on previous topics related to last year, certain programs such as architecture, music or film just asked applicants to upload their portfolio and there was no talk about interviews.

Hi. Thank you for making this thread.

Let's be anxious together.

Ah s*** here we go again......

Well, I just sent my updated portfolio yesterday, got confirmation that all documents are in order too. Hopefully this time results will be released sooner than last year ?

I'm not applying for Architecture but I'm applying for Fine Arts/Design which doesn't have interviews either. Maybe this specific group of programs don't have them? ;|a

Hello everyone.

Well I called the local DAAD in my country and they told me that architecture scholarship doesn't require interviews and they will instead review our portfolios. I think that this also applies to programs such as Fine Arts/Design just as you mentioned it yourself. but ironically I wish that these programs also had interviews so that if we didn't get invited for them, we would know that we haven't been selected in advance. the waiting time is really painful ?.

Mine changed last week.

It means that you have passed the initial review of documents completion.

Let's be hopeful ☺️

I heard that some applicants (for Master Studies for All Academic Disciplines 2022-2023)  got emails from DAAD asking them to provide German certificates, but I got nothing.

Hi guys!
I've applied for Visual Arts/Design and (of course) already send my portfolio. Now my status is "paper copies received". I guess there will be no news before April or May:) This is my second try with DAAD and I hope this year it will go well ?

[boogy]

This year's January seems to be quite silent  compared to previous year when many were receiving updates . I still have not heard anyone with updates .  Maybe this is due to measures to covid .

It is likely that their language of instruction is German , or some courses are in German language and others in English

Hello Daria

I wish you lots of luck with your application. I have a question. Did DAAD tell you how many people had applied and how many actually won in your scholarship category, last year? 

[Daria_Ts]

I believe the deadline was 1 December. I applied 28 November.

Hello, thanks!
Yeah, in my rejection letter was some information. They told they had only 50 scholarships to be given, and the number of applicants was round 600. I suppose those numbers were only for Postgraduate Studies in the Fields of Fine Art, Film, Design/Visual Communication.

Hello Daria, Thank you for your response.
Yes I know that number of applicants that you mentioned were only for your category of application. it means that the success rate was something around 8 percent, which is insanely low! I hope that they will increase the number of awards for all categories this year?

[boogy]

I got rejection today too.
