DAAD EPOS is an award from the German academic exchange service for English-taught master programmes, aimed at working professionals from developing countries.
The list of participating programmes is closed and published by DAAD — applying to a programme outside it means the file is not assessed, however strong the university.
What the fund pays for. Exact amounts can change each round — check against the announcement for the open round.
Conditions published by the fund. Missing any one of these usually means rejection at the procedural stage, before the file reaches the selection panel.
Applications are only accepted for master programmes named on the EPOS list for the open round.
Usually at least two years of work after the bachelor degree.
The bachelor degree usually must have been awarded within the last six years as at the deadline.
English-taught programmes require an English certificate; German-taught entry is a separate route with a CEFR threshold.
The documents usually required. Each round has its own official list published by the fund, so check again before submitting.
The language threshold is the first eligibility gate — the certificate must be valid at the time of submission. This is the part Wobridge Academy is responsible for and can measure.
Threshold required: IELTS 6.5 · Cho chương trình dạy bằng tiếng Anh · Everyday speaking B2 tiếng Đức · Cho chương trình dạy bằng tiếng Đức
Band 0.0 – 4.5
For complete beginners, or anyone rebuilding their English from the ground up before starting exam preparation.
What you study
For anyone who wants to speak English in daily life, starting from pronunciation and the sentences you will use most often.
What you study
The four steps below are what the centre does with you. The award decision rests with the fund panel — the centre cannot influence it, and does not promise on their behalf.
Take a placement test to measure the gap between your current level and the language threshold this award requires, then set a study plan around the months left before the deadline.
Follow the plan with regular mock tests so progress stays measurable. This is the part the centre is responsible for.
Read through essays, reference letters and transcript conversions before submission, checked against the document list the fund publishes for the open round.
Submit on time through the fund portal, then record the application number and response milestones. The award decision rests with the fund panel.
DAAD caps the number of choices per round, usually three. Exceeding it means procedural rejection, so read the open-round announcement carefully.
No. The certificate must be valid at the time of submission, and most funds reject incomplete files. Test early so there are enough months left to train.
The centre teaches the language and reviews the file before submission. Essays and reference letters must still be your own — panels recognise ghost-written work quickly.
A few awards for the same countries, to compare before you commit.
Living stipend · 300 euros a month for at least two semesters
