University of Bremen DAAD EPOS Scholarship in Marine Biology 2027 Details

The German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) offers a limited number of scholarships to highly qualified applicants. The current call for applications and necessary application documents for the scholarship for an EPOS study programme can be found on the DAAD’s website.

The programmes ISATEC and Marine Biology have been merged to form a single MSc programme with two study profiles. From the winter semester 2020/21 on, ISATEC is a study profile in the MSc programme Marine Biology!

The application therefore has to be for Marine Biology (choose the subject “Marine Biology DAAD” in the online application portal, if you want to apply for ISATEC in combination with a DAAD scholarship from the “Development-Related Postgraduate Courses” programme).

What Is ISATEC?

ISATEC stands for International Studies in Aquatic Tropical Ecology.

It was originally established at the University of Bremen in collaboration with the Leibniz Centre for Tropical Marine Research (ZMT).

Today, ISATEC is a study profile within the University’s M.Sc. Marine Biology programme.

The programme prepares students for research and practical work related to:

Tropical aquatic ecosystems
Marine and freshwater ecology
Conservation
Resource management
Sustainable use of aquatic resources
Environmental management
Development-related challenges involving aquatic ecosystems

The programme is taught in English and follows the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS).

Students can also benefit from collaboration with research institutions including the:

Leibniz Centre for Tropical Marine Research
Alfred Wegener Institute
Max Planck Institute for Marine Microbiology
Thünen Institute

The programme therefore provides an interdisciplinary environment connecting university teaching with marine and aquatic research.
