Meta description: DAAD-EPOS scholarship applications for Heidelberg’s MSc International Health are open until 15 October 2026, ahead of the September 2027 intake.
Overview
Heidelberg’s Institute of Global Health has opened the DAAD-EPOS scholarship application window for its September 2027 MSc International Health intake.
About the Programme
The English-taught master’s addresses health challenges in low- and middle-income settings. Full-time study takes one year and combines taught modules with research and an oral examination.
Benefits
The current DAAD EPOS scheme lists a €992 monthly graduate stipend, insurance contributions and a travel allowance where not otherwise funded. Additional rent or family support is conditional. Confirm the award’s exact coverage and any remaining university charges before accepting.
Eligibility
Applicants must meet both course-admission and scholarship requirements. The course asks for a relevant four-year degree or equivalent of at least 240 ECTS, relevant professional experience and English at B2 level.
EPOS requires applicants from eligible countries to have at least two years of relevant professional experience after their first degree, strong academic results and a development-focused motivation. Degrees should normally be no more than six years old; a German-residence restriction also applies.
Application Process
Use the current Heidelberg scholarship page and its dedicated application form. The university nominates candidates; DAAD makes the funding decision. Do not confuse the scholarship window with ordinary course admission.
Required Documents
Check the course form and DAAD checklist for the full set. Prepare the EPOS form, CV, motivation statement, employer recommendation, work-experience certificates, degree records, transcripts and language evidence. Follow translation and certification instructions where applicable.
Deadline
The scholarship deadline is 15 October 2026. The separate MSc application timetable runs from 16 October 2026 to 31 March 2027, according to the course admissions page.
