The DAAD EPOS MIDE Scholarship 2027 is linked to the Master’s Programme in International and Development Economics (MIDE) at HTW Berlin. The programme is suitable for students who want to develop their knowledge of economics, international trade, and development issues.
The DAAD EPOS programme generally supports qualified graduates from eligible developing and newly industrialised countries who want to pursue selected postgraduate programmes in Germany. However, there is an important update for the 2027 MIDE intake: HTW Berlin has stated that DAAD EPOS funding will not be available for the April 2027 intake. Students should therefore explore other funding options before applying.
About the DAAD EPOS MIDE Scholarship 2027
The DAAD EPOS MIDE Scholarship 2027 is associated with the Master’s Programme in International and Development Economics at HTW Berlin, which focuses on economic challenges related to international development.
The April 2027 intake is scheduled to begin on 1 April 2027. The programme runs for 18 months and is divided into three semesters. Applications for this intake are scheduled from 1 July to 30 September 2026.
DAAD EPOS Scholarship Benefits
Although DAAD EPOS funding is not available for the April 2027 MIDE intake, it is useful to understand the general benefits normally offered through the EPOS programme.
Selected DAAD EPOS scholarship holders may receive:
- A monthly scholarship payment of €992 for graduates.
- Health, accident, and personal liability insurance.
- A travel allowance, where applicable.
- Possible rent or family allowances depending on individual circumstances.
- Financial support during the scholarship period.
These benefits describe the general DAAD EPOS programme and should not be considered available for the MIDE April 2027 intake unless HTW Berlin or DAAD announces a new funding arrangement.
Eligibility Criteria for DAAD EPOS MIDE Scholarship 2027
Applicants need to satisfy the admission requirements of the MIDE programme as well as the general conditions associated with DAAD EPOS when applicable.
For the MIDE April 2027 intake, applicants generally need:
- A first university degree worth 180 ECTS or an equivalent qualification.
- A suitable academic background for the programme.
- A strong academic record.
- Relevant knowledge or coursework in economics.
- The required language proficiency.
- A well-prepared motivation letter.
For DAAD EPOS scholarships in general, applicants normally need at least two years of relevant professional experience after completing their first degree. The DAAD also generally expects applicants to have an above-average academic record and relevant professional development.
Because EPOS funding is not available for the 2027 MIDE intake, students should check the current HTW Berlin requirements rather than assuming that all standard EPOS conditions apply to their MIDE application.
Programme Costs
Before applying, students should carefully review the financial requirements of the MIDE programme. HTW Berlin currently lists a €2,500 programme service fee for the 18-month programme. Students may also have to pay semester fees.
As DAAD EPOS funding is unavailable for the April 2027 MIDE intake, applicants should make a realistic financial plan. Looking for alternative scholarships or other funding sources can help reduce the overall cost of studying in Germany.
