Study scholarships are open to excellently-qualified junior teaching staff from state universities and researchers from state-run research institutions (1), excellently-qualified junior teaching staff from private universities (2) or from former IKIPs (3) in any field of study/research who hold a first degree (Bachelor's degree) with some teaching/research experience. They have opportunities to complete a postgraduate or Master's degree course at a German higher education institution and to gain a degree in Germany. 1 Applicants from public institutions should have full civil service status (NIP+KARPEG) or a Pre-Service Training Certificate (sertifikat latihan pra jabatan) before applying (at the latest before admission to pre-departure training course). If candidates are not in the position to get full civil service status yet, but are strongly recommended by their universities/institutions, DAAD will consider the applications. 2 Applicants from private universities must have a full-time staff status (letter of confirmation of permanent employment at the university from Yayasan). They must be teaching in degree courses in departments with "disamakan" status. 3 Applicants from former IKIPs (now universitas negeri) are not eligible, if they have obtained IKIP degrees only.
