  • Required documents for the scholarship

  • Signed DAAD application form with the current date.?
  • Personally signed CV. Use the sample Europass form available at [https://europass.cedefop.europa.eu/en/home] with the current date. I find it easier to use the template in MS word format.?
  • Personally signed letter of motivation (with reference to current occupation and choice of the postgraduate programme, two pages maximum) with the current date. Note that you have to submit one motivation letter for all the courses when applying for more than one postgraduate course (maximum 3 courses).?
  • Letter of recommendation from your current employer. The letter must have a letterhead, signature, and official stamp and must be of the current date (not in a sealed envelope).?
  • Certificate(s) of employment from the employer(s) proving a minimum of two years of relevant working experience (after the bachelor's degree) at the time of application. If possible, I advise including a guarantee of re-employment from your current employer upon returning home.?
  • Proof of Language Skills (English – IELTS or TOEFL). Some schools accept a Letter of English Proficiency from your home institution in Nigeria in place of the above. I advise mailing the school for confirmation before commencing.?
  • Copies of academic degrees (certified translation if necessary).?
  • Copies of academic transcripts, including grading scale (certified translation if necessary).?

Note that some courses may require additional documents. Please see the relevant course description in the brochure [Attached Documents] and the respective websites for detailed information. It is important to note that incomplete applications cannot be considered.
