Universität Hamburg: Merit Scholarships for International Students

The merit-based programme gives outstanding international students the opportunity to study at Universität Hamburg. There are no restrictions on the subject area or type of degree. The award of merit scholarships should enable the students to concentrate fully on their studies and give them the opportunity to develop their skills. The scholarship is awarded to international students who have been enrolled in their course of study for a minimum of 2 semesters at Universität Hamburg and who do not qualify for assistance under the German Federal Training Assistance Act (BAföG). Students enrolled in 2-year Master's programmes can apply after completing just 1 semester. The scholarship supports students who show good to very good academic performance and can demonstrate other verifiable knowledge and skills such as lectures, publications, awards, or additional subject-related qualifications.
