The DAAD – short for Deutscher Akademischer Austausch Dienst or German Academic Exchange Service – is Germany’s principal agency for the support of international academic cooperation and exchange. It supports the worldwide exchange of international students, graduates, academics and scientists within the framework of more than 200 different programmes.
The DAAD Information Centre Singapore opened its doors in 2001. Our goal is to help students and researchers from Singapore benefit from Germany’s world-class education and research opportunities. Since 2001, hundreds of interested students have paid the Info Centre a personal visit to get hands on advice and free information material on study and research opportunities in Germany. An even higher number of people have made contact with the Centre via email or visited the centre’s website, which gives access to a wealth of information.
The so-called International Degree Courses offered by German universities are very often the focus of interest. These programmes, which are taught primarily in English and lead to internationally recognised Bachelor, Master or PhD degrees, have proved tremendously popular with students from abroad. Generously subsidized by the German government with very moderate tuition fees, these world-class degree programmes are attracting growing numbers of international students to boost their careers with a degree made in Germany. Study opportunities cover a vast variety of subjects ranging from Computer Science and Engineering to Economics and Law or Social and Cultural Studies.
