DAAD Office Mexico City
Academic exchange between Mexico and Germany has grown continuously in recent years. In 2022, we registered 470 instances of collaboration between officially registered Mexican and German universities, and the number of Mexican students in Germany rose from 730 (in 2004) to over 3,284 (in 2020).
DAAD has signed agreements with government organizations, such as the National Council for Science and Technology (CONACYT) and the Mexican Association of University Deans (ANUIES), to support and continue developing academic cooperation in Mexico. Both Germany and DAAD are keen on further strengthening academic relations between the two countries; this steered DAAD toward expanding its presence in Mexico through the establishment of a regional office in 2000.
In Mexico, DAAD’s presence includes a regional office in Mexico City and four lektors: 2 in Mexico City, 1 in Monterrey and 1 in Guadalajara. Moreover, the Humboldt Professorship, long-term German professors, and several language assistants.
We invite you to visit our office during service hours; we offer information and can advise you on the steps to follow to carry out higher education studies or research projects in Germany. In like manner, we also advise Mexican Universities or professors/researchers on how to find academic collaborators in Germany. In addition, we provide guidance on the various scholarship programs that DAAD has to offer Mexico. We are happy to work with you!
