DAAD Germany

Next presentation in Thai language on Thursday 18.02.10 at 6 PM at the Auditorium of the Thai-German Cultural Foundation. The seminars aim to improve the skills of university staff at all levels of teaching, research and administration. Our office is closed on public Thai holidays and on certain German holidays. Students should please refer to the counselor at the DAAD Information Center. University administrators, professors and research fellows can also get information on study and research in Germany from our DAAD-colleagues at Thai universities. For personal counseling please check our office hours below.
The DAAD headquarters are in Bonn, but there are around 15 other regional offices which exist to provide information and counseling about study and research opportunities, as well as available grants, tailored to students and academics within their region; the regional branch office for North America is in New York. With an annual budget of nearly 300 million Euro and supporting approximately 50,000 grantees annually , the DAAD is in fact the largest such academic grant organization worldwide. Akin to the Fulbright Program familiar to many North American students, the DAAD itself does not offer programs of study or courses, but rather awards competitive, merit-based grants for use toward study and/or research in Germany at any of the accredited German institutions of higher education. DAAD is a private, federally- and state-funded, self-governing national agency of the institutions of higher education in Germany, representing 365 German higher education institutions. Erasmus Mundus is a cooperation and mobility programme in the field of international academic co-operation. We look forward to assisting you. Since 1973, the Regional Office for Africa in Nairobi, Kenya, promotes academic exchange and cooperation between universities and research institutions in Sub-Saharan Africa and Germany and provides information about the wide range of study opportunities in Germany for foreigners as well as funding programmes and scholarships.
