DAAD - Branch Office Cairo
Acceptance letter
What needs to be written in the acceptance letter?
The acceptance letter or the email from a German professor should show that the research project in preparation is feasible and can be conducted in Germany under his supervision. The acceptance letter should state the title, time frame and objectives of the project. The acceptance letter should not be older than six months.
Must the signature of the German supervisor be a real signature or can it be electronic?
It would be better if the invitation letter is signed by the German professor, however, if the time does not permit submitting the signed one, your letter can be considered until you hand in the original.
I found a German supervisor but I haven´t received the acceptance letter yet.
If you are in contact with a German supervisor and he has sent you an email mentioning his willingness to supervise your research proposal, you can attach his email as an initial acceptance. Please note that pre-selected candidates have to submit their final acceptance letters with the final application form prior to the interview dates or the date set by the DAAD Cairo team.
I have two (or more) acceptance letters from several German professors. Shall I submit them all?
No, please hand in only one acceptance letter. You should decide which acceptance letter is more suitable for your research plan and upload it accordingly. Please refrain from uploading more than one letter as it causes unnecessary confusion.
