- DAAD provides a monthly scholarship payment, travel allowance, insurance and applicable additional benefits during the funded stay in Germany. Depending on the doctoral arrangement, the programme may also support travel by supervising academics and other costs connected with the bi-national doctoral structure.
About this opportunity
The DAAD Bi-nationally Supervised Doctoral Degrees programme supports doctoral candidates whose dissertation is supervised jointly by an academic at their home university and an academic at a German institution. It enables substantial research periods in Germany while maintaining the candidate\'s doctoral connection to the home institution.
Benefits
DAAD provides a monthly scholarship payment, travel allowance, insurance and applicable additional benefits during the funded stay in Germany. Depending on the doctoral arrangement, the programme may also support travel by supervising academics and other costs connected with the bi-national doctoral structure.
Requirements
Applicants need a detailed doctoral research proposal and schedule, evidence of academic qualifications, CV, confirmation of doctoral supervision at the home university, written confirmation from the German academic supervisor and documentation of the agreed bi-national or cotutelle arrangement. Appropriate German or English language competence must also be demonstrated.
How to apply
Establish supervision arrangements with both the home institution and a German university, prepare the research plan and obtain the required academic confirmations. Register in the DAAD portal, complete the online scholarship application, upload all academic and doctoral documentation and submit by 2026-11-16.
Find scholarships, postgraduate study and internships
Explore opportunities from Uganda and abroad. Location describes where an opportunity is based; check the official eligibility rules to confirm whether Ugandan, African or other international applicants can apply.
Fully funded scholarships in Canada, the USA and Europe
Compare undergraduate, master's and PhD awards by eligible nationality, subject and funding coverage. A tuition waiver does not necessarily cover living costs, insurance or travel. For medical study, confirm the exact degree and whether clinical training is included. High school awards have different age and admission requirements from university scholarships.
For US universities offering full scholarships, check the university's international admissions and financial aid pages. Confirm whether admission and funding require separate applications, and whether support is renewable each year.
Paid internships abroad and online internships
For internships in Europe or elsewhere, check nationality and enrolment requirements, the stipend, accommodation and travel coverage. Paid does not necessarily mean fully funded. Remote internships may still restrict the countries where participants can work. To intern abroad without programme fees, compare direct employer applications and check which costs you must pay yourself.
For summer placements, verify the start date and application year in the official call. Search the listings for a provider or subject, such as Expedia, EU delegation traineeships or agriculture in Germany, and confirm availability with that organisation.
NGO jobs, entry-level jobs and internships in Uganda
Check the posting date, closing date, duty station and required experience. For jobs with no experience, look for an explicit entry-level or graduate requirement; an urgent vacancy may still require experience. Verify American Embassy vacancies through the embassy's official recruitment service and New Vision vacancies against the original employer notice.
Application years and named scholarship programmes
Use the intake and deadline in each listing when comparing 2026 and 2027 opportunities. A 2022 notice is historical unless the provider has published a new call. Before applying to Yale Young African Scholars or an opportunity described as a UNICEF scholarship, verify the programme name, funding and current eligibility directly with the organisation. A search phrase alone does not confirm an available award.
