PROMOS

The DAAD’s PROMOS programme

A DAAD programme to promote the mobility of students at German universities

As part of the DAAD’s PROMOS programme, the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar awards grants for stays abroad lasting up to 6 months. The grants are intended for students whose project abroad is not eligible for any other type of funding (e.g. ERASMUS or another DAAD programme).

The Bauhaus-Universität Weimar awards the following PROMOS grants:

  • PROMOS grants for studies abroad
    Support is available for study stays abroad lasting at least 1 month and a maximum of 6 months.
    Unfortunately, tuition fees cannot be covered. Semester grants are only possible within Europe when there is no ERASMUS cooperation with the corresponding department at the host university.
  • PROMOS grants for internships abroad
    Student internships abroad are eligible for funding if they last at least 1 month and a maximum of 6 months. This does not apply to internships eligible for funding through other DAAD grant programmes. Due to overlaps with the ERASMUS+ internship programme, internships in the ERASMUS region cannot be funded.

Application requirements

Students enrolled at the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar with the aim of achieving the corresponding degree are able to apply (excluding exchange students). Non-German students are not eligible for funding for a stay in their home country.

Study visits to our partner universities in Switzerland are funded by the Swiss mobility program SEMP. Additional funding via the PROMOS program is not possible.

Selection of the scholarship recipients

Due to the limited budget for the PROMOS project year 2025, it is unfortunately not possible to grant a scholarship to all applicants. The scholarship holders are selected by a selection committee based on the evaluation of the application documents using the selection and evaluation criteria (see below).

Grant Amounts

The monthly scholarship rates for the individual countries are specified by the DAAD:

350 EuroCanada
450 EuroAlbania, Argentina, Australia, Chile, Ethiopia, Jordan, Lebanon, Mexico, Panama,  Peru, South Africa, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, USA, Uzbekistan
550 Euro Brazil, Hong Kong, Israel, Japan

The duration of the funding depends on the result of the evaluation of the applicants and can last between one and three months.

Application

Application deadlines for PROMOS grants in the 2025 calendar year:
5 December 2024for stays beginning in the first half of the year (January to June 2025)
5 May 2025for stays beginning in the second half of the year (July to December 2025)

Please send the following application documents in the specified order in one PDF file to andrea.weber[at]uni-weimar.de:

  • Application form
  • Letter of motivation (approx. 1–2 pages)
  • Curriculum vitae
  • Proof of previous academic achievements (if already available, also include your Bachelor certificate)
  • Letter of recommendation from your faculty
  • Proof of language proficiency (language of the host country, study language or English - if possible please submit language certificates for 2 languages). Please use existing language certificates or a DAAD Language Certificate issued at the language center. Existing language certificates should not be older than three years. 
  • Confirmation of acceptance from the host university/internship contract with details of the internship period, role and remuneration (if not yet available, proof of contact)
  • Transcript of records for the current semester
  • Certificates of attendance and certificates from workshops, programs, memberships, etc. mentioned in the application.
  • Other letters of recommendation or assessments, certificates of attendance, work samples or portfolios and the like may also be submitted

You are also required to specify all other scholarships or grants you have applied for or already received.

Selection criteria

The following criteria are used to assess applications:

  • Student’s qualifications/study achievements
  • Relevance of the planned stay to past and future studies, justification and motivation
  • Faculty recommendation
  • Existing language skills necessary for a successful stay
  • Extracurricular criteria/social commitment (e.g. voluntary membership in university organisations and student initiatives, e.g. student council, faculty student council, or non-university organisations/associations)
  • Formal correctness, format and completeness of the application documents
