Study
Visits to Germany for Groups of Foreign Students
学习访问
Objective
The study visits programme aims to help foreign students,
visiting Germany under the guidance of a lecturer,
make contacts in their specific academic field and
gain a knowledge of Germany, its people and language
by undertaking visits, tours and information discussions
which provide them with an insight into academic,
scientific, economic, political and cultural life
in Germany. At the same time, the programme aims to
maintain and develop institutional contacts between
German and foreign higher education institutions and
to promote meetings between German and foreign academics
and students.
Visits
Visits should be no shorter than seven days and no
longer than twelve days.
Value
The DAAD will pay for accommodation (in hotels of
average standard or youth hostels, in double or multiple
bedrooms) and breakfast for the group participants
(including the lecturer). Additional expenses (meals,
travel and other costs) must be met either by the
group participants or by their home institution.
The DAAD
will pay for board and lodging and well as travel
costs within Germany from groups from Central and
Eastern European countries, as well as from developing
countries on other continents (including the lecturer
and, where applicable, bus driver).
The DAAD
cannot pay any international travel costs.
The DAAD
will organise the programme content and schedule for
funded groups in accordance with the wishes stated
in the application and will supply a native guide
fluent in the language of the group. The guide is
responsible for the smooth running of the programme
and will also assist the group. As a rule, it is recommended
that a coach be used for travelling.
The DAAD
will take out health, accident and personal liability
insurance for the funded group.
Support
cannot be provided on an annual basis.
Requirements
Support can be provided for groups of university students
