DAAD, Germany’s national academic exchange agency, funds master’s study at German universities across almost any field, and Pakistan has its own earlier country-specific deadline, so timing matters.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is Pakistan’s deadline earlier than the general DAAD deadline?
DAAD sets country-specific deadlines through its local offices; Pakistan’s falls in late September, about a month earlier than the general international round, so check daad.pk directly rather than a general aggregator.
Do I need German language skills?
Not for English-taught programmes, though DAAD does fund a preparatory German course for successful scholars.
You will be taken to the official DAAD Pakistan website to apply.
