Additional Information on DAAD Study Scholarships in the Fields of the Performing Arts (Drama, Direction, Dance, Choreography, etc.)

  1. The above-mentioned subject areas can be studied as a state (public) or state-recognised German higher education institution. However, approval of the scholarship does not automatically mean that the applicant has been admitted to a higher education institution.

  2. The final selection decision on applicants is reached by a special DAAD committee, made up of professors from the relevant disciplines.

  3. Applicants from the fields of drama and direction must have a very good to excellent knowledge of German; applicants from the fields of dance and choreography must at least have a basic knowledge of German and a good knowledge of English. Language certificates must be submitted.

  4. Applicants must submit the following along with the other application papers:
    • Drama: a video or DVD in which applicants present themselves (in German), explain the reasons for their application and their plans in Germany (approx. 5 minutes). This is followed by two role extracts each lasting between 5 and 10 minutes, of which one may be in English. Recordings with technical faults (lighting/sound quality) cannot be considered.
    • Direction: a video/DVD with presentation; the video/DVD should then document the applicant's own projects and may be accompanied by additional written material.
    • Dance: a video/DVD with presentation (as for drama applicants). This is followed by two dance interludes: classical (warm-up training), modern (applicant's own piece).
    • Choreography: a video/DVD with presentation. This is followed by the applicant's own choreography of around 15 minutes.
Please note that all sound and image media must be playable on systems commonly used in Germany.

All applicants are expected to have already informed themselves about the study options available at German universities and higher education institutions and should already have been in contact with the German university. As a rule, German universities will only admit candidates after a personal interview or an aptitude test.

DAAD Glossary

Referat

A "Referat" involves students giving a presentation on a subject that has previously been agreed with their lecturer or professor.

Universität

"Universität" means university and is used for research universities (wissenschaftliche Hochschulen) that offer a broad range of subjects (like arts and humanities, social sciences, natural sciences, economics and business administration, law, medicine). These institutions confer doctorates. The strong research focus benefits students in their training. Please note, however, that English texts often use the term "university" generically, i.e. to cover all kinds of higher education institutions, for example, universities of the arts, universities of applied sciences, universities of education, etc.
