The Programme for the mobility of students and doctoral students of German universities (PROMOS), with the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) as the national implementing agency, aims to promote study periods abroad and practice-related stays abroad by students.
Detailed information on the funding conditions can be found in our current PROMOS guidelines (only available in German).
Internships for which the DAAD offers internship-specific funding cannot be funded through PROMOS. These are internships in:
Likewise, you cannot apply for PROMOS if you received your internship through the exchange organisations IAESTE, AIESEC, bvmd or ZAD. If necessary, contact the exchange organisations directly for a travel allowance.
Four application deadlines are offered per year. The first application should be submitted as far as feasible before the start of the internship. If the first application is not successful, a new application is possible, provided that the internship has not yet been completed by the respective deadlines.
Applications received late or incomplete after the deadline will be rejected on formal grounds.
Please note: The funding period of the internship (≠ internship period) must end no later than 28 February of the year following the application. Otherwise, the application can only be submitted on the next application date (1 February).
Example: You complete a four-month internship that lasts from mid-December to mid-April. You would like to apply on 1 November for funding for your internship from mid-December. In this case, however, the funding period (= maximum 3 months) would exceed 28 February. You could therefore only apply on 1 February.
After the application deadline, the applicants will be ranked and selected according to the following criteria (weighting of the criterion in brackets):
Send your application via e-mail as one pdf file to auslandspraktikum@uni-passau.de. You will receive a confirmation of receipt by e-mail within one week. Only complete applications, with all listed documents, can be accepted.
Various documents must be submitted to the ZKK for the application. A large part of these is currently only available in German. A list of the required documents can be found on the German version of the page at "Vor dem Praktikum". If you need assistance with your application or if you have any questions, please contact auslandspraktikum@uni-passau.de.
Within one month after the end of the internship, the following documents must be submitted via e-mail:
