Application Tip #35
Do I have to have contacts in Germany when I apply for funding?
Yes, if you are carrying out individual research in Germany or – in artistic subjects – wish to continue your education individually, you need an invitation from a German supervisor.
If you are participating in a structured study or doctoral degree program, you only need to provide information about your chosen program.
