Funding period: 2012-2014, 2016-2024

In order to contribute to the international scientific exchange between engineering sciences at TU Dortmund University, we support scholarships from selected international study programmes. Our aim is to give young people from other countries an opportunity to further improve their skills in Germany and also support the international work of universities in the region.

That is why we provide three full scholarships to international students of the two-year “International Master of Science in Manufacturing Technology” (MMT) course, a unique international master’s programme at TU Dortmund University in the field of manufacturing technology, which also gives them an opportunity to learn German during that time and get to know the German culture. Students who are interested in the course have to have a bachelor’s degree in engineering science and must be among the top ten percent of students of the year in their home country.

Our funding partner

Since its founding more than 55 years ago (1968), TU Dortmund University has developed a highly diverse profile, encompassing 17 faculties ranging from science and engineering to social sciences and culture studies. The university has more than 32,400 students and 6,600 employees, including 325 professors. It offers 80 degree programmes in traditional and innovative subjects, including some unique programmes such as science journalism or spatial planning, and a broad range of programmes for future teachers of all school types.

We are working with the Institute of Forming Technology and Lightweight Components (IUL) of TU Dortmund University. The IUL’s key scientific focus is the development of innovative forming processes and process chains in the areas of lightweight construction and energy efficiency.

UN Sustainable Development Goals

The UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development with its 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) forms the global framework for action for socially, economically and ecologically sustainable development. Our funding commitment also supports these sustainability goals. With this project, we are making a contribution to achieving the following SDGs:
