Who are we looking for?
Malengo’s Uganda-Germany Refugee Program prepares refugees registered in Uganda who hold Ugandan Secondary School Certificates (UACE) for admission to an English-speaking full Bachelor’s program at a German university and provides help with financing. We are specifically looking to support students who have limited means and could not otherwise afford to study at a university. The goal of the program is not student exchange; rather, we want to support students who want to complete a full BA degree in Germany.

- Basic Eligibility

- 2 subjects at the Principal Level of the Uganda Advanced Certificate of Education (UACE) with a grade of E or better
- 3 subjects in the Uganda Certificate of Education (UCE) with a grade of 6 or better
