Objective
The German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) supports the scholarship programme "Combined study and practical stays for engineers from developing countries (KOSPIE)" with funds from the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ). As part of this programme, young students from Tunisia from engineering subjects and informatics complete a 6-month study and practical stay at selected German universities to carry out their final thesis project. The selected German universities for the cohort 2025 are Technische Universität Chemnitz, Technische Universität Dresden, Hochschule Offenburg and Universität Passau.
The focus is on the practice-oriented training of specialists and managers from Tunisia. The long-term goal of the scholarship programme is to contribute to the sustainable development of Tunisia. The beneficiaries of the pro-gramme should ideally later work in development-related areas and thus make a contribution to strengthening the private and/or public sector in their home country. Alumni of the programme are prepared for the technical/professional requirements of their future work and the practice-oriented and international profile of the alumni increases their employability. They plan to apply their skills in a field of activity relevant to their home country or home region.
The following programme objectives are derived from the long-term developmental impacts sought:
Scholarship holders enhance
(a) their scientific and technical skills,
(b) their practical ability and
(c) their general and intercultural competence.
Who can apply?
Master’s students resp. diploma students enrolled in the engineering sciences and informatics at a state or state-recognised university in Tunisia.
