Watching this again before my own daad interview tomorrow to calm my nerves lol i like to hear you talk and thank you for the tips!

[@faheemrasheed9967]

How was it and what did they ask?

[@chloekrol7152]

This video kind of helped me to relax a bit, thanks for such positive point of view!

[@halmatameen9658]

Thanks Dew for your insights! I have my interview in 2 days. I loved your video.

[@soniamomnougui6032]

I love your personality, thank you ✨

[@wiesoimmerich111]

Hey Dew, thank you so much for your video! It is really helping me to prepare :) I am an outgoing master student (D -> DK), but I think it still gives a good impression of what might be important for the DAAD regardless where you are. So thanks and good luck with whatever you are doing now to pursue your goals and dreams :)

[@alfianfariz3224]

Thanks for the tips. I'll have my interview in 3 days. Stressful yet excited 🤣

Thank you so much! U are just wonderful! You have helped me a bit to calm down. Thaaaaaaanks! ❤️❤️❤️

Hello☺ Could you please share your interview experience?

[@JeJeZLovesMusic]

Hi, Dew! Thank you so much for the tips! They really help me a lot! I will have an interview of DAAD scholarship in February. I have kept in mind the importance of my motivation letter.^^

[@fk7015]

Hi! After how many days after your application did they give you a reply to do the interview?

[@JeJeZLovesMusic]

@@fk7015 Hi, friend! I received the reply from the DAAD institution after about 3 months. And I will take part in the selected interview next week.

[@noegutierrez48]

Hello!! I am probably going to have my DAAD interview next week, so I wanted to thank you for this video. It helped me a lot! I'm applying for a different program. I'm studying engineering and I applied to a Volkswagen program called "Estudiantes Mexicanos en Alemania". That would be "Mexican students in Germany", which is a program to do professional practices in Germany. I already was accepted by VW, but now comes the DAAD part of the program. So, I hope I can have the scholarship. Thanks again for sharing this info with us!! I recently discovered you channel and I love your vibe!

I hope you got it.

Thank you, this was very useful!

[@simplydew_]

Glad it was helpful!

[@ayobamiawoleye7379]

Thanks for the insight. An applicant can apply to a maximum of 3 courses but some application documents can be only be submitted directly to the university office while some via online means. For some of those applications that are submitted directly to the office do I have to mention in my motivation letter about those courses whose application can only be done online provided that these courses are closely related but are offered by different universities? Just that the submission mode is different.

[@zoevu8478]

I am gonna have an interview in few days and today I watched this video of yours. I can't stop myself telling you that I love your vibes and your energy. I will definitely watch this video again before my interview to calm myself. Thank you so much! Much love

@dew, please which understand did you apply? Do you attend interview irrespective of the university you apply and the course you choose?

[@bensonedobor1899]

Thank you so very much. I was preparing for my DAAD interview early October 2023 and I came across this video. I used it as a guide and here I am in January 2024 as a DAAD Scholar. I got the scholarship ❤. Thank you very much

[@sirajojallow2895]

If you pass the interview, is there any chance of not being selected?

[@tincho8712]

So I should preferably say that I will go back to my home country after the end of the studies?

[@rukhsanaakram1932]

i also have daad scholarship interview on thursday .i am so much happy and the same time too much nervos what will be happen

[@gladiolus-2685]

Hey, Dew! I know the video is old but I hope you'll see the comment and answer to it. Did the selection committee ask you some technical questions from your field, like the things you studied in lectures, or they asked you more broad questions? I've seen a micture of answers online and don't know how to prepare myself. Thank you 💕💕

[@tpn-sm5pd]

hi dew can i ask you whether can students who just finished their o-levels and want to pursue A-levels apply in DAAD.... how we should do that?? pls help me...

[@lidiab4329]

Hey! Thanks for the video, it is really helpful! I would like to clarify, whether it is mandatory to show them my German skills? I mean, I heard that in the beginning of the interview they always ask whether you would like to conduct the interview rather in English or German. The thing is, that I passed TestDaF in 2017, so like a looong time ago. And in the past 2 years I haven't practiced German, so my language skills dropped notably. Of course I am going to do some preparation to refresh my knowledge, but the thought that I could be tested really terrifies me...

[@donovan1191]

and what happened? o.o

[@arifanzumshuvo2338]

I am applying for a research grant doctoral programme in germany, I need to have a referee who could recommend me in this PhD program, My question is if I set an associate Professor as my refereee, would it harm my application!?

Thank you 😍

[@belenvasquez670]

I had the Interview on Wednesday (Dec 02,2020). It went pretty well :) Hope I´ll get the scholarship! I saw your video about your experience and it helped me to get confidence. Thanks for that. I want to share the questions I was asked: 1. Tell me about yourself 2. Why Germany and Why the MSc course 3. Work and academic background 4. My future plans 5. Specific question about the program and my country The interviewer was very kind and funny. So, my advice... just relax and be certain about your goals.

[@hotpepper3182]

My scholarship academic requirement need s.o who speak German at C1 but should I apply and learnt it later ?

[@simplydew_]

As per my experience, we were all required to meet the German level requirement before our DAAD scholarship interviews. This especially applies if the university you are applying to requires a certain level of German. But it won't hurt to send a message to the DAAD directly to ask about your specific case :)

[@hotpepper3182]

@@simplydew_ Guess I have to improve my German first then.Also thank for the video ,gonna be handy in the future.

[@TravelpreneurPragati]

Hello ma’am I need your help , actually I want to know One thing that - - - I’m doing masters in applied chemistry I will completed my masters in 2021 till June and after that immediately I want to apply for daad scholarship so I want to know will I able to apply for daad scholarship ???? Without job experience??????????

[@simplydew_]

Hello, thank you for your comment. So you can be able to apply for a scholarship after you finish your masters in 2021, however you can't apply for a scholarship that will begin in the same year (i.e 2021/2022) because the deadline has unfortunately passed regarding applications for studies beginning next year. You can however, apply for a scholarship for the year 2022/2023. As per job experience, it depends on what the university and scholarship requirements are. I don't think it is always mandatory to have job experience (again, check with the specific university and scholarship), but it of course boosts your chances of getting accepted. Since you will most likely be applying next year, I would definitely suggest to take up any work or volunteer experience related to your field. Good luck to you! :)

[@oz2770]

Yesterday I received the result that I was awarded scholarship for 24 months. I didn't do any interview. I'm a little bit confused. is the interview process part of the application or is it selective? Also, they asked me to confirm my acceptance by sending a note via portal. Do I send the note from NEW MESSAGES under application and document overview? Thanks

[@aparaskevo]

Hello, first of all congratulations! Were you accepted for the "Master studies for all academic disciplines 2021/2022" scholarship programme?

[@simplydew_]

CONGRATS! That's amazing. Maybe they did things differently this year because of the pandemic, or they've changed the process for some selective master scholarships. Either way, you've won it and that's what matters!! Also, yes you would have to confirm your scholarship via the portal. In my case, I had to download the "Declaration of Acceptance" and re-upload it via the portal. There should be an option on the left side of the screen that says "Declaration of Acceptance" or something similar.
