International PhD Programme for Agricultural Economics, Bioeconomy and Rural Development (IPPAE)

About

This PhD programme is offered to candidates from developing countries (DAC) from all over the world. It is intended to provide excellent and motivated candidates with the opportunity to strengthen their research and analytical skills throughout the process of conducting a PhD. The PhD programme includes a German language course, subject courses, research design for the dissertation, field work in the home country, development analysis and future strategies as well as the writing of the dissertation. The dissertation addresses an important problem of agricultural development at the micro or macro level or a related field, such as environment or rural development in the candidate's home country. The aim is to qualify the candidates as researchers and teachers who are then able to analyse problems and develop solutions for their home countries in a systematic way. Most former students act as multipliers at universities or other institutions in their home countries today. This objective is supported by many ongoing co-operations and continuing exchange activities following studies in Giessen or Hohenheim.
