German Language Scholarships in the Federal Republic of Germany

Goethe-Institut Australia offers a small number of 4-week language course scholarships at a Goethe-Institut in Germany to Australians working in Key Positions in the Arts.
We aim to enable curators, directors, arts managers and journalists to obtain a better understanding of both the German language and further insight into the German cultural scenes.

Applicants should work for cultural initiatives with a specific interest in Germany and with the intention of bringing back the experiences made in Germany into the Australian context.

The scholarships include:

  • tuition fee
  • accommodation, breakfast
  • health insurance
  • a travel allowance of €800 is also included and will be reimbursed in Germany upon arrival - Please note: Due to budget constraints, the travel allowance might not be granted in every case.

Application details:

A prior basic knowledge of German is essential and has to be stated in the application.
