International Excellence Scholarship Program (IES) is a scholarship program that enables motivated students of the humanities, social sciences and linguistics from Eastern and Southeastern Europe, the Caucasus and Central Asia with above-average grades to spend a semester abroad in Berlin. This program gives students the opportunity to deepen their knowledge at the best German universities (HU Berlin, FU Berlin) and to apply theoretical knowledge through subject-related internships. During the 6-month stay you will experience German culture at first hand through living in a German-speaking host family as well as through the cultural events and social meetings. In addition, the scholarship holders take part in the program's accompanying and developing activities, which they help to shape intensively.

The program participants are supervised by an experienced team. In order to adapt quickly and smoothly in Berlin, the scholarship holders receive highly qualified guidance. They are also supported by our mentors during their first encounters.
