[lowongan-beasiswa] [INFO] Scholarship for Doctoral Studies in Germany (Sandwich model by DAAD)

 

Research Grants for Doctoral Candidates within the "Sandwich Model"

Objective
Whereas conventional scholarships for doctorate or PhD studies assume that a scholarship holder will stay at a German institution of higher education for several consecutive years, the "Sandwich Scheme" described hereafter is a flexible multi phase funding programme. Within the Sandwich Scheme, PhD students carry out their research and studies alternately in their home country and in Germany, following a schedule set in advance and under continuous supervision by Indonesian and German academics. The doctorate is obtained at the Indonesian university.

Purpose
Within the academic funding schemes of numerous development countries, training and further education of future and young university teachers is given special priority. Besides specialisation and increasing previously gained knowledge, students very often strive for a PhD or doctorate degree as frequently required according to the regulations ruling university careers in their home country. Even in cases where PhD studies would be possible in the student's home country, a doctorate degree from an industrial nation is often preferred for reasons of prestige. PhD studies abroad, however, carry with them risks: of alienation connected with very long study courses, loss of originally reserved lecturing posts at the home university, of research geared too much to the developed country and its needs, and finally the risk of temptation to settle in the host country.
In an effort to minimize these risks, the DAAD has developed the scheme of cooperative PhD funding (Sandwich-Scholarships) for nationals of developing countries whose universities offer doctorates.

Procedure
This means the procedure can be as follows: the German university lecturer/professor travels to the Indonesia of the future doctoral candidate to draw up a joint protocol signed by both the Indonesian and the German supervisor, which details the dissertation subject, the planned work measures, and their duration preparatory studies and research for the PhD thesis in Indonesia (data collection and field research) without DAAD funding studies and research at a German institution of higher education (maximum 2 years) if necessary, visit by the foreign academic supervisor and co advisor at the German institution (progress control, consolidation of institutional contacts) completion of the thesis in Indonesia (without DAAD funding) visit of the German supervisor to Indonesia (last corrections and participation at the viva as external examiner)

The main characteristic of this Sandwich Scheme is the individually tailor-made PhD programme schedule set with the greatest flexibility possible regarding the beginning and duration of each individual funding phase.

Eligibility, application forms and documents for this programme are the same as for research grants for doctoral candidates and young academics and scientists. The extensive and detailed research proposal must be accompanied by a work- and time schedule agreed upon by the academic advisors, both in Indonesia and in Germany.

Research grants are given to :
a. excellently-qualified teaching staff from state or private universities
b. researchers from research institutions in any field of study/research
c. applicants from private sectors with at least two years of working experience
Research grants can be used to carry out :
- research projects at a German university for the purpose of gaining a doctorate in Germany
- research projects at a German higher education institution for the purpose of gaining a doctorate in Indonesia (according to the "DAAD Sandwich Model" – see page 5)

2. Scholarship duration
The length of the grant is set by the grant committee during the selection depending on the project in question and on the applicant‟s work schedule. In the case of full doctoral programs in Germany the scholarship will be granted for up to three years. For sandwich scholarships, the research stay in Germany will be supported for a maximum of two years. Even when support has been awarded for a full doctoral program, that award will be limited to one year at time. Extensions of the scholarship depend on the evaluation of the work done thus far.

3. Value
Depending on the award holder‟s academic level, the DAAD will pay a monthly award of 1000 Euros plus travel and health insurance allowances. In addition to these payments, the DAAD will pay a study and research allowance.
When award holders take doctoral programs run under the "DAAD Sandwich Model" and obtain the degree at the home university the award may include the travel expenses of both academic supervisors.

4. Requirements
a) holder of Master Degree (S2 Degree) with minimum GPA of 3,00
b) Master‟s degree should have been completed not longer than six years at the time of application
c) a convincing and well-planned research project that has been agreed by a German academic supervisor at the German host university.
Please see page 7 for information on „How to find an academic supervisor in Germany‟
d) written confirmation of the supervision by a professor in Germany commenting on your research program.
e) It is required that doctoral candidates wishing to take a doctorate/PhD in their home country (Sandwich Program) must register for the doctorate at their home university.
f) Proficient in English - TOEFL IBT 80 or ITP 550 or IELTS 6 (obtained in 2009 or 2010) -or good German language skills. TOEFL Prediction is not accepted
