Now I am coming to Muenster's University to teach Italian Literature with Prof. Christoph Miethin, from ....

Scholarship for German language course and study course in theology

Question

I would like to respectfully solicit your help in applying for a bursary for the purpose of pursing higher studies in Germany. I shall graduate from ... this coming May, with a BA degree in Theology, and would like to continue my studies toward an MA degree in the same area.

The Adventist Institution in Germany that would offer an MA in Theology is...

While at ... in Madagascar, I had a minor in Management, and I did a three-month internship at the ....

It is my intention to learn the German language for one year before starting my higher studies.

I know that Madagascar will greatly benefit from my expertise in the field of Theology, since the members of the clergy contribute greatly, in many areas, to the development of the Malagasy population.

Answer

thank you for your request, which I hopefully can reply to in an appropriate manner. As you have pointed out the University you would like to attend in Germany (Friedensau Theologische Hochschule), I checked the website and they offer stipends/scholarships for students from abroad, which are supplemented by the German Academic Exchange Service if necessary. Hence,it might be helpful to contact the University – by e-mail, for further advice. Further, you can contact the Goethe Institute, e-mail: info@goethe.de as to German courses, although there is no Goethe Institute in Madagascar – they offer a number of courses, also online, via their website http://www.goethe.de/lrn/enindex.htm.

The German Education Server does not provide stipends itself, but information resources. You can thus check the following English language websites for further information regarding a study course in Germany:

http://www.bildungsserver.de/zeigen_e.html?seite=4457 (Studying in Germany) http://www.bildungsserver.de/zeigen_e.html?seite=4097 (Learning and teaching German)

I hope you will find a suitable German course and stipend

Question Nr. 2

Thank you very much of this letter and would like to give for you the information with ...University, in ... he is offering the German courses. The scholarship who is give is 2400 euro but my fee schools is 6500 euro the first year and 7 000 x 2 to have a MA in Theology. I ask one question how is the processus to get the scholarship in the German Academic Exchange Service?

Answer Nr. 2

As we do not provide any information beyond what is available on the Internet, I would suggest you to consult the DAAD website for further information, see http://www.daad.de

As a citizen of Madagascar, you might also find it helpful to consult the German Counsil at Madagascar, which offers a website in French and German, see http://www.antananarivo.diplo.de/Vertretung/antananarivo/ . The website also offers you an address, and information on studying and researching in Germany. In fact, I believe you would probably be best advised to consult the Madagascan address, the Ambassade d'Allemagne Antananarivo – see the website above, where you can find personal advice.

Question Nr. 3

I wrote a letter for the embasy and the embasy said that he haven't a bursary in the Allamande. I wish to study but I haven't a possibility to paid my fee. I have some experiency the Massotherapy and phytotherapie I have a certificate of this. I m ready to work to paid my fee school.

I wrote also in the University and he said that I paid 2500 euro in the inscription and after I ll receive 2400 euro of the bursary. The fee of voyage I have. If you have a possibility help me to have a MA degree

Answer Nr. 3

While students from EU or EAA countries are allowed to work in Germany basically without any restrictions, work regulations are much more strictly limited for international students from non-European countries.

Generally, the job market is available to EU members first, i.e. in areas with high unemployment rates you as a non-European student would find it difficult to obtain employment. As Friedensau is in the East of Germany, where unemployment is quite high, I fear your chance of finding a job would probably not be very hhigh. Again, I would require yo to personally contact the university you have chosen and ask the counsellors there how they assess the situation.

Scholarship for doctoral thesis

Question

I learn from Prof. ... and herrn .... that your esteemed organization may give financial aid as scholarship to those candidates who are planning to study for a doctoral degree or already engaged in doctorial researching work in Germany. I have so great interest in your organization and hope I could be qualified for obtaining it.

With good school reports and master degree, I graduated from College of Computer Science, at..., China. During the diligent time in my institute, I majored in Computer Application Technology and have gotten through a big time. Then, I am very lucky to be offered opportunity to follow up my academic study with a doctorate under the supervision of my professor... in.... There, I realize my dream to do something in the area which I love. My detailed CV has been enclosed in the appendix.

Prof...., my nett Doktorvater, under whose supervision I found my interessant researching area and will put all my energy into it, has suggested me to contact with you for applying the financial aid. I enjoy the doctor study in my interesting area and like the researching Arbeit in German, so I would feel very grateful to you if you could inform me whatever details about your organization and about how to apply for your financial aid.

My dear Sir/Madam, I have been accepted as a Ph.D. student

Answer

Thank you for your email, even though the names of the persons you give, tell me nothing. Unfortunately I am not in the position to answer positively, as you probably hope. I have no influence on any scholarship or garnt, I am just an editor of the Deutscher Bildungsserver (German Education Server) in which you may find some helpful hints in order to get a scholarship.

I am sorry to write, but normally it is easier to get such a scholarship when being at home, e.g. by the German embassy or DAAD representative.

As you are here at the Universitaet Tuebingen, at the WSI, I first propose you to contact your professors there. Due to my experience they do better know than anybody else the possibilities and chances to get a scholarship.

On the Deutscher Bildungsserver you find a lot of general institutions offering scholarship possibilities. In fact there are many more, but most are quite specific and give scholarship only due to a certain study field, to people of a certain region, religion, gifted etc... Thus, as editors, we do not know all of them, neither all specific prerogatives for an application.

In the German Education Server you find a lot of possibilities at http://www.bildungsserver.de/zeigen_e.html?seite=2416 The first mentioned: Scholarships database Germany seem to me the best and extensive one and also the second one Campus Germany - Scholarships and Grants has some specific offers.

Time schedule at German universities

Question

I was wondering do universities in Germany have bells like the high schools? How long are classes in German universities? In high schools in Germany is their a rule about how synchronized the bell has to be with German standard time?

Answer

From my own experience at university I can say that there are no bells at German universities.

A lesson lasts 45 minutes and usually courses are arranged in units of two lessons. For the organisation and time schedule of classes see also the following text: http://www.study-in-germany.de/english/1.39.164.html

Whether the bells at school are synchronised with standard time I cannot say.


Scholarship for doctoral degree

Question

I completed my MSc in Applied-Microbiology from ..., INDIA. I am currently working as a Research Assistant in INDIAN INSTITUTE OF SCIENCE. Right now I am looking for a Doctoral degree in the Biological sciences and applying to various universities in Germany.

I recently learned of the fellowship offered by your organization. I believe I would make an ideal candidate. Please send me an application and any other information pertaining to the fellowship.

Answer

Unfortunately, we cannot send you any paperwork for applying for a research fellowship in Germany as we only provide information and advice (the Eduserver is a web-based information service, a reference system rather than an organisation).

Therefore, may I suggest the following steps to you: 1) Since you have already established a contact with Professor Lee at the research institute you wish to attend, it would be advisable to ask him/her in particular. In many cases a personal contact is a good address, and they will probably have experience with application procedures and addresses for fellowship grants in their pertinent area of research.

2) The website "Study in Germany" offers information on fellowships, grant foundations and links to their websites, see http://www.study-in-germany.de/english/2.115.409.html
