The DAAD-EPOS scholarship for Developing Countries enables students to enrol in Masters-level Development Management programmes at Ruhr University Bochum. The scholarship must be applied for by September 30, 2023.
An 18-month programme called the MA in Development Management is designed to prepare professionals to meet the increasing need for programme and project managers in the area of international development cooperation. Students who complete the course will have a solid theoretical basis and the resources necessary to manage projects and plans for development efficiently. The curriculum covers subjects including project cycle management, empirical research methodologies, social science and economic theories, and the use of theoretical and methodological knowledge.
Through its postgraduate programmes that are centred on development, the DAAD encourages the training of professionals from developing and recently industrialised nations. In order to achieve a brighter future with less poverty, more education, and better health for everybody, well-trained local specialists who are connected to international partners play an important role in the sustainable development of their nations. The scholarships give foreign graduates with a minimum of two years of work experience from developing and newly industrialised nations the chance to pursue a postgraduate or Master’s degree at a German state or state-recognized university, and in exceptional circumstances, to pursue a doctoral degree, and to earn a university degree (Master’s/PhD) in Germany.
