The Program is an initiative to provide a high-qualification to up-coming young scientists engaged in political, social and natural sciences, economics, ecology, agriculture and management of natural resources. It offers doctoral degrees of a top academic standard.
In general, the Doctoral Program has a clearly defined length: Although the programme is exclusively in English, it starts with a German language course (duration 2 months) to facilitate living in Germany. After an initial phase of 6 to 12 months for preparation with a tightly-organised course program, the doctoral candidates conduct their research at their specific location abroad, in an environment with quality advisors and supervisors. After their empirical research (normally one to two years), the candidates return to ZEF for the write-up of their thesis. Although the individual phases of the doctoral thesis might vary according to discipline and subject, the complete duration is fixed. The doctoral thesis has to be accomplished within 38 months (including the German language course). | | Website of programme | http://www.zef.de/doctoralprogram.html | | Fees | None, but accommodation, costs for daily living and costs for field research have to be secured; Scholarship available | | Number of students on the course | approx. 30 students per batch | | For how long has the course been offered | 1999 | | Location of study | University of Bonn | | Country | Germany | | Contact person | Günther Manske | | Email address | docp.zef@uni-bonn.de | | Phone | +49 228 / 73-17 94 | | Fax | +49 228 / 73-1889 | | Keywords | Agriculture, Climate, Culture, Development policy, Development theory, Economic development, Environment, Globalisation, Political development, Research, Rural development, Sustainable development, Water |
