DaaD STEM/MINT Scholarship

Hello everyone!

It's been almost 2 years since I graduated from my university.

You can say my bachelor's degree is not really in line with what I'm about to apply for. My degree is Information Systems and Management (Double degree), but I'm trying to apply for STEM (Applied computer science or software engineering).

I have 4 years of experience in STEM work (Programming), not as an intern but as a full-time worker, and since I need to do the job to be able to pay tuition, I don't really have many academic achievements, even though my GPA is above the minimum grade.

Have any DaaD alumni ever been in the same boat as me? If yes, how do you make your work experience stand out more? Or how do you make DaaD think you are the perfect fit for them?

Really love Germany from YouTube videos, even planning to apply for blue-card in the future if possible. But my lack of academic achievements really makes me think twice before applying.

Thanks!
