However, BAföG is not the only way to get state-funded postgraduate studies. The state will also help you in other ways Financing a postgraduate course. One point of contact is the Federal Employment Agency.
Legal regulations
However, there is one here Problem: There are no clear legal regulations that tell you whether you Money received from the employment agency or not. Rather, the employment counselor for the Consulting and funding the Further Training responsible. Make an appointment for a personal Conversation.
However, you should not go into the interview completely unprepared, but pay attention to a few things and know under what circumstances the federal agency Further Training promotes at all.
What exactly does the employment agency promote?
The employment agency promotes only two types of further training: The training measures according to §48 and §421i SGB III (constructional studies are, however, generally not covered by this) and continuing vocational training according to §77 ff SGB III.
In addition, the Agencies for Work can expand the possibilities offered by the statutory active promotion of employment through free services of active employment promotion. (Free support according to §10 SGB III).
Measures to improve the integration prospects:
The so-called training measures in employment agency jargon are officially called “Measures to improve integration prospects”. As a rule, they last no longer than twelve weeks and are intended to support you in your career orientation and improve your chances of finding a job: for example through languageCourses, application coaching or business start-up advice. As a rule, this funding is not an option for a postgraduate course.
Promoting Continuing Vocational Training:
In addition to the training, the employment agency then offers the “real” further training measures, which according to the SGB are known as “promoting professional further training”. You can also receive these grants for postgraduate studies if you are entitled to or receive unemployment benefit.
For this, you must have worked for at least 12 for at least XNUMX months in the last two years. Or you will receive unemployment benefit II. However, you do not have any legal claim for further training or training. You can only hope that you will be granted this measure and that you will be able to convince them accordingly.
funding programs
For many postgraduateCourses, there are funding programs and scholarships from private foundations and Companys.
With around 700 links the foundation index is currently the most extensive collection of German foundations.
Where can I find scholarships?
In addition to the well-known and large-scale foundations, a large number of smaller and less well-known funding initiatives can be found.
However, many of them are very small and promote specific, narrow criteria, eg only for specific areas or only people from a region. The database also provides information on foreign foundations with a focus on the USA.
selection criteria
Within the selection not only excellent grades count. And indeed, some foundations are said to have difficulties getting rid of their money. In addition to the foundation index, the Stifterverband für die Deutsche Wissenschaft, with its database on study and travel grants, and the Federal Association of German Foundations are important first contact points through which further funding opportunities can be found.
There are also numerous companies that primarily support MBA courses. For example, BASF supports participants in the international management course European MBA at the Mannheimer Business School with grants ranging from €10 to €000 per participant. The scholarship holders come from Germany and abroad and from various departments.
How to get the scholarships?
The scholarships were not advertised, but by University and scholarship providers selected from among those who, after an extensive selection was able to win one of the 17 study places.
And the technical college for Economy Berlin advertises scholarships for part-time MBA studies for women. The scholarship holders are supported in the financing of the two-year postgraduate course with 5.000 euros each and learn application-related Background and important management skills designed to help women in leading position to get.

Hello Frank,
First of all, I have to forward that I can not and will not give a personal assessment of the case because of the legal services law, but only some further information. Perhaps however one of the Mitleser personal experiences.
Here is a link to another post on the subject of an education voucher - which shows that you have no legal right to an education voucher, regardless of unemployment benefit.
This means however also reverse, that the educational voucher does not necessarily depend on the ALG I, as one can read here very nicely:
As far as the claim of ALG I is concerned during the studies, an additional employment may not exceed 15 hours per week:
In this context, I find it legally interesting that the BA has recently started paying for further training during short-time work: - but only marginally.Still have to think about whether there are other ways of financing:
Meister-BAföG:
An educational loan:
Or a BAföG loan:
There are also scholarships, educational checks)
Some funding is also available here: http://www.foerderdatenbank.de
For scholarships, there is usually an age limit, so around the 30. Otherwise, you have to google or go to the university.
Many greetings and good luck

I would like to take up a specific postgraduate course (medical physicist) and am in principle entitled to unemployment benefit 1. When I asked the employment agency, however, I received the information that studies (including postgraduate and additional studies) and unemployment benefit are in principle mutually exclusive, which is not the case -Availability of the student for the job market during the course is related. On the part of the employment office, that sounded more like a clear legal regulation. Is this argumentation possibly only held up by the employment office in principle and should I try - as an individual case, so to speak - to get an education voucher for this postgraduate course with appropriate funding through unemployment benefits?

Even though I am not able to answer the question directly on the basis of the legal service law, I have a few more tips on the topic, which may interest even more readers:
Here is a reference to other articles on the topic of education vouchers - from which it emerges that you have no legal right to an education voucher, unemployment benefit or not.
This also means, conversely, that the educational voucher does not necessarily depend on the ALG I. As far as the claim of ALG I is concerned during the studies, an additional employment may not exceed 15 hours per week.
In this context, I find it legally interesting that BA recently paid further training during the work: Link. But this only on the edge.If there are other types of funding, such as scholarships, subsidies, BAföG, there is usually an age limit, as is the case with the 30. Otherwise, you have to google google or ask at the university.
Good luck!
