Application deadlines for DAAD scholarships for Master's programs starting in January 2027 typically fall in the second half of 2026. Exact deadlines depend on the program:

- All Academic Disciplines: 2 November 2026
- Architecture: 23 September 2026
- Music: 24 September 2026

For English-taught programs, DAAD usually requires an overall IELTS score of 6.0 (no band below 5.5), though some programs may ask for a higher score, such as 6.5.

Deadlines and requirements are subject to change.
