The University of Oldenburg is offering an opportunity for the “PROMOS Scholarship for Internships Abroad” for German students through the DAAD-funded PROMOS program.

The duration of the internship is six weeks to 6 months. Students of all disciplines can apply for a scholarship for an internship abroad outside the EU countries. Offered by the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD), the program promotes students to go on short stays abroad with a scholarship.

Established in 1973, the University of Oldenburg offers a wide range of subjects and a broad range of study opportunities. Studying at Oldenburg, students will gain a more in-depth and intensive knowledge of their fields of study.

Why apply to this program? By joining this program opportunity, applicants will receive funding for internships in countries outside of Europe. As part of the DAAD program PROMOS 1, the International Student Office (ISO) at the Carl von Ossietzky University of Oldenburg has grants to increase the mobility of German students in the following funding channels: (1) Study visits (1 to 6 months), (2) Internships (6 weeks to 6 months), (3) Language courses (3 weeks to 6 months), and (4) Specialized courses (5 days to 6 weeks).
