The scholarship scheme will run for the next eight years and is targeted at students from developing countries.
Successful applicants will be able to cover all expenses directly related to the study programme as well as their cost of living in Bonn.
“We are glad to offer the new master’s course with strong partners such as the United Nations University and the University of Bonn,” says Prof. Dr. Margret Wintermantel, President of DAAD.
“The course broadens the range of opportunities we offer for young specialists from developing and newly industrialising countries at German institutions of higher education.”
The joint M.Sc. programme provides postgraduate students with detailed knowledge, critical understanding, strategies and the tools required to take an interdisciplinary approach towards environmental risks and human security.
It is the third study programme in Bonn to be admitted to the DAAD funding scheme, in addition to the ZEF Doctoral Studies programme and the ARTS study programme offered by the Faculty of Agriculture, University of Bonn.
