Tuition-free is not cost-free
Many public institutions charge low or no tuition for selected programmes, yet students still need to plan for semester contributions, housing, insurance, travel and visa proof of funds. Some states or programmes charge tuition to non-EU students.
DAAD's database is the best starting point for its current programmes. EPOS is aimed at applicants from eligible countries and generally expects relevant professional experience.
- Check the exact programme language
- Use the official DAAD scholarship database
- Confirm APS or document-verification rules where relevant
- Compare city-level living costs
- Review work-experience requirements carefully
How AspireCompass verifies listings
We summarise eligibility, funding and timing from the programme owner whenever an official page is available. Every listing shows the source and the date it was last checked.
Scholarship and recruitment details can change without notice. Always read the official call, confirm the deadline in your time zone and apply through the programme owner's portal. AspireCompass does not award scholarships or charge an application fee.
