PROMOS funds studies, research, internships, language and academic courses and group travels abroad. Students who organize their projects abroad independently, can apply for funding. Doctoral candidates can be funded in the categories language course, academic course and as participants in group travels. Thus, PROMOS offers a chance to spend a period of time abroad to those, whose project or destination does not fit into any of the structured programs offered by the DAAD or Erasmus+. In addition to grants awarded to individuals, PROMOS also finances group travels (such as course excursions or travels for competitions). Our flyer offers useful insights and information about the program.

The scholarships are awarded by the Freie Universität Berlin and include a selection process. Applying to the program via the DAAD is not possible and there is no legal claim to the grant.

Please note that language testing (which is needed for a language certificate) often takes place before the application phase. Please see more information on language tests on the website of FU Berlin’s Language Center regarding language tests.
