PROMOS - Program for the Enhancement of the Mobility of Students of German Institutes of Higher Education

The Scholarship Program at a Glance

General Information

Study related stays abroad with a duration of up to six months can be funded through PROMOS scholarships. PROMOS is a program designed to enhance the mobility of students. The scholarships are financed by the Federal Ministry for Research and Education (BMBF) and the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD).

It is now possible to receive a PROMOS scholarship for stays in the UK, as it is no longer an EU member state.

Funding lines

The following funding lines are supported through PROMOS at the Universität Koblenz-Landau:

Study Periods worldwide (1 – 6 months)

Study periods abroad as well as stays abroad with the purpose of writing a final thesis (also at a company) are eligible for funding. Only in a very few exceptional cases study periods within the European Erasmus+ area can be funded through PROMOS. Stays abroad for writing a final thesis, however, are exempt from this restriction.

Internships worldwide (6 weeks – 6 months)

Internships abroad are also eligible for funding. Internships for ERAMUS+ program countries are managed by the EU Servicepoint.

Please keep in mind that not all PROMOS funding lines outlined by the DAAD are being offered by the Universität Koblenz-Landau.
