DAAD in Laos

ຍິນດີຕ້ອນຮັບ – Welcome

In Laos, the DAAD primarily supports young researchers and the further development of academically trained specialists and executives especially at the five universities in Laos.

The DAAD also funds university partnership programmes that support the structural development of higher education institutions in Laos, particularly at the National University of Laos (NUoL). Every year, the DAAD delivers further training and development courses for university managers as part of its DIES programme. The DAAD holds annual information events on studying and research in Germany and is also represented at EU education fairs every year, where it presents a range of its programmes and services.

The Faculty of Forestry at NUoL is one of the partners in a multilateral university cooperation project to develop an English-language Master’s course entitled International Tropical Forestry at the Vietnamese Forestry University Xuan Mai. The German partners are the University of Göttingen and TU Dresden. Priority on the course is given to students from Laos as well as from Cambodia, Myanmar and Vietnam.

Alumni of German universities in Laos

There are around 600 alumni of German universities in Laos who are now successfully employed in the fields of science, business and politics. They are the ideal contacts for anyone interested in pursuing higher education studies or research in Germany. The alumni have formed the Lao-German Friendship Society (LDFG).

The DAAD’s main partner in Laos is the German Embassy in Vientiane.

Champathong Phochanthilath has been the DAAD ambassador in Laos since the beginning of 2019. She is always pleased to answer questions about studying and conducting research in Germany.
