University Of Bonn Scholarships For International Students 2023

UNU Scholarships, Joint Master’s Programme is one of a limited set of international postgraduate studies funded by the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) EPOS initiative.

Students learn specific information, critical thinking, tactics, and instruments to address environmental risks and human security in an interdisciplinary manner in the joint M.Sc. program.

It is Bonn’s third DAAD-funded study program, following the ZEF Doctoral Studies and ARTS programs at the University of Bonn’s Faculty of Agriculture.

The UNU World Institute for Development Economics Research analyzes and advises on economic policies to promote sustainable and equitable development. The UNU’s first research center, the Institute, opened in Helsinki, Finland, nearly 30 years ago.

A successful collaboration between the University of Bonn Department of Geography and the UNU produced this Master’s program. DAAD funds it, which helps internationalize Bonn University.
