DAAD Branch Office London

The DAAD strives to foster academic exchange and cooperation with individuals and institutions in the UK and the Republic of Ireland.

First established in 1927 and re-opened after the war in 1952, the London office of the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) is the oldest of the 19 branch offices of the organisation outside of Germany. The DAAD team in London acts as the first point of contact for inquiries regarding DAAD programmes for students and researchers, providing information about German universities and further funding opportunities.

Please note that we provide funding for students and academics in the UK and Ireland to study and carry out research in Germany. If you are an applicant from Germany and looking for funding to study / carry out research in the UK or Ireland, you need to go via DAAD head office in Germany.
