One-Year Scholarship for Postgraduate Studies in Bavaria

Are you interested in expanding your academic knowledge, gaining international experience and developing your professional skills? The one-year scholarship programme in Bavaria offers graduates of higher education institutions an excellent opportunity to continue their academic journey and enhance their qualifications in an international environment.

In today’s Europe, advanced specialist knowledge, interdisciplinary skills and international experience are essential for academic and professional development. Postgraduate studies abroad can complement and strengthen the qualifications acquired during undergraduate studies, while also supporting personal growth and preparing graduates for future challenges in professional practice, scientific research and academic work.

The Free State of Bavaria awards one-year scholarships to graduates of higher education institutions from Bulgaria, Croatia, Czechia, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Russia, Serbia, Slovakia and Ukraine who wish to pursue postgraduate studies in Bavaria.

The scholarship programme provides funding for:

  • postgraduate studies,
  • research stays,
  • doctoral studies

at state and state-funded higher education institutions in Bavaria.

Applicants should demonstrate in their application that their chosen postgraduate programme or research project is closely connected to their previous studies and that it will contribute to achieving their academic and professional goals.

The aim of the one-year scholarship programme is to strengthen academic cooperation and promote student exchange between Bavaria and countries in Central, Eastern and Southeastern Europe. The programme provides a valuable opportunity to build international networks, gain new perspectives and further develop academic expertise.

We encourage eligible candidates to apply and take advantage of this opportunity for academic and personal development.
