DIW Berlin Scholarship for International Students 2022 Application Update

DIW Berlin Scholarship is now open for applications from suitably qualified students. It is a fully funded scholarship for all students sponsored by the DIW Berlin.

About the Scholarship

DIW Berlin (the German Institute for Economic Research) is one of the leading economic research institutes in Germany.

The German Institute for Economic Research, or, more commonly DIW Berlin, is a economic research institute in Germany, involved in basic research and policy advice.

Requirements for DIW Berlin Scholarship

1. Applicants should have a Master’s in Economics or Business Studies and have performed exceptionally well in their studies.

Applicants from related fields (such as Industrial Engineering, Statistics, or quantitative social sciences) may also fulfill the admission requirements if they have a sufficient background in Economics or Business Studies.

2. Applicants are asked to provide GRE General Test scores with their application. Providing GRE General Test scores is highly recommended but not mandatory.

In addition, please note that the minimum scores in the GRE General Test above which applicants are admitted to the program depend on the score level of all applicants in the respective year.

Therefore, we do not specify a minimum score that must be achieved.

3. Applicants whose native language is not English must demonstrate English language proficiency, unless they hold a degree from a university in an English-speaking country or can document at least one year of studies at an English-speaking university.

Sufficient evidence for a good command of English is a high score in the “Test of English as a Foreign Language” (TOEFL) or the “International English Language Testing System” (IELTS).

As a rule of thumb, successful applicants will score at or above 7.0 (IELTS) or 95 (Internet-based TOEFL).

4. Applicants with a Bachelor’s degree are eligible to apply for the program if they also apply for a Master’s program offering a fast track option.

5. Knowledge of German is not a necessary requirement for a successful application, but students are encouraged to learn and improve their skills.

In addition, evidence of creativity and inclination toward research will be taken into consideration. Please note that it is not necessary to find a supervisor before applying to the DIW Graduate Center.
