How long should my Master's programme be to qualify for the Konrad Adenauer Stiftung scholarship in Germany?
For the Konrad Adenauer Stiftung international scholarship, Master's applicants must plan to enrol in a four-semester Master's programme at a German university. Confirm your course duration matches before applying, and contact KAS if your programme is shorter, longer or has a non-standard structure.

My Advice
When you shortlist Master's courses in Germany, note the number of semesters right away and drop programmes that clearly do not match. For borderline cases, email KAS before you invest effort in the application, so you know early whether the course can be supported.
