FAQ: DAAD Lecturer Programme

The DAAD (Deutscher Akademischer Austauschdienst, German Academic Exchange Service) is a registered association, with its membership comprising German institutions of higher education and student bodies. It is the world’s largest funding organisation for academic exchange. In addition to providing grants and scholarships, the DAAD supports the internationalisation of German universities, promotes German Studies and the German language abroad, assists developing countries in establishing effective universities and advises decision makers on matters of cultural, education and development policy. In the UK and Ireland, Institutions of higher education have a long-standing partnership with the DAAD, as their cooperation dates back to the early 1950s when the first DAAD branch office worldwide opened in London. The DAAD London office is responsible for the United Kingdom and Ireland.

Within the DAAD Lecturer Programme (DAAD-Lektorenprogramm), the DAAD places Lecturers, primarily early-career academics/teachers in the fields of German as a foreign language, German philology and related disciplines, at universities all over the world. In some countries, including the UK, there are also Lecturers for other disciplines like law, political science, and history. Within the DAAD Lecturer Programme, the host university provides a position and the corresponding remuneration and defines the Lecturer’s tasks and required qualifications in consultation with the DAAD. More information on the programme and multimedia impressions in German language can be found here: DAAD-Lektorate weltweit – DAAD

DAAD Lecturers contribute to the internationalisation of the respective host institution and help its students and researchers to take up studies and research activities in Germany. Moreover, DAAD Lecturers are a catalyst for bringing a modern and diverse view on Germany and its higher education institutions to the host university by organising and managing cultural and research-related events and projects, for which the DAAD can provide funding upon application. Also, they provide vital support to colleagues and students in their department by contributing to a diverse and appealing curriculum for students and incorporating innovative new teaching methods that put students and their academic development into the focus of teaching.

For a DAAD Lecturer (DAAD-Lektor*in), the range and focus of tasks and responsibilities varies depending on the host institution, laid down in a role description mutually agreed by the host institution and the DAAD. They include some or all of the following:

  • Teaching German as a foreign language
  • Holding courses or giving lectures on literature, language and linguistics, German studies and recent German and European history
  • Teaching specialist classes for translators and interpreters, as well as courses on the didactics and methodology of foreign language teaching
  • Setting examination papers and organising examinations
  • As for DAAD Lecturers in other disciplines (DAAD-Fachlektor*innen), teaching courses and setting up examinations in their specific subject areas
  • Maintaining contacts with German organisations (DAAD, DFG, Goethe-Institute and others) and higher education institutions in Germany
  • Advising students and colleagues, both from the host department and other academic departments, on study and research opportunities in Germany and on possible sources of funding
  • Promoting German language and culture within the university and the wider community

The DAAD strongly encourages Lecturers and makes funding available to offer extracurricular activities to promote Germany and German Language and Culture, such as screening German films, inviting German authors, initiating a German society, or coordinating a German drama group.

The DAAD selects suitable candidates and proposes them to the university but does not act as an employer. The Lecturer enters an employment relationship with the host university and thus becomes a member of its teaching staff with the same rights and duties as the local colleagues of the same rank. If required in the respective country, the host university is also responsible for the visa sponsorship process. The DAAD supports the Lecturers by preparing them for their tasks, training them in their teaching and study guidance activities, and, as co-funding agent, granting them financial support in addition to their local salary.

Since the host universities expect DAAD Lecturers to provide up-to-date information about the subject and about Germany, the posts are limited in time to a maximum of five years. The initial funding period is two years, and it can then be extended year by year until the maximum funding period of five years has been reached, unless the university decides to terminate the employment earlier. After this period, a new Lecturer may be appointed if both the DAAD and the university agree to do so. Details of the relationship between the host university and the DAAD are outlined in a contractual agreement signed by both parties after a candidate has been selected.
