Institutions
The program is jointly organized by the Justus-Liebig-University of Giessen and University of Hohenheim
The Ludoviciana – Ludwigs – University of Giessen was founded as one of the first universities in the German speaking world. In the 17. century, the typical protestant University was divided into four faculties: Theology, Law, Medicine and Philosophy. The university received international reputation by the well-known agro-chemistry and plant nutrition scientist Justus von Liebig and the physics Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen with there revolutionary contribution to scientific progress. After the second world war the agricultural and veterinary schools became own faculties of the university. Today, the university has about 22,000 students of which about 10 % belong to the new founded faculty Agriculture, Food Sciences and Environmental Management. The new organised Master program allows the students to specialise in: Plant Production, Animal Production, Agricultural Economics and Environmental Protection.
The University of Hohenheim was founded by King Wilhelm I of Württemberg as an Institution for Agricultural Teaching and Research in 1848. From the start, it had a worldwide reputation as a key academic agricultural institution. In 1967 Hohenheim gained university status and today it has some 5 000 students. About a fifth are enrolled in courses on Agricultural Sciences and Agricultural Biology, thus representing approx. 25 % of the total of students in these subjects throughout Germany. The University is located in a campus surrounding the old Hohenheim Palace. Short distances between all campus facilities make the orientation for new coming students easy and promote a familiar atmosphere.
Course focus
This Ph.D. programme is offered to candidates from tropical and subtropical countries. It is intended to provide suitable candidates with the opportunity for acquiring the Dr .agr. (Ph.D.). The programme is carried out in collaboration with the Universities of Giessen and Hohenheim.
a. Improvement of Ph.D. theses and more efficient Ph.D. training
The training of potential researchers and managers in developing countries should be increasingly oriented toward the conditions and needs of those countries and should at the same time insure a level of training that is standard in developed countries.
b. Time limit to finish Ph.D.
The time required for finishing a Ph.D. is restricted to a maximum of 3 ½ years (excluding language courses) to economically use universities, donors and employed home institutional resources.
c. More intensive and improved research and research cooperation
The cooperation between the Universities of Giessen and Hohenheim and universities and research institutions in developing countries will be intensified and the research topics should be increasingly related to the reality in the tropics and subtropics.
Structure and Contents
There is a clear structure of the programme, which includes German language course, Subject curses, Dissertation Planning, Field work, Data analysis and Completion of the Dissertation.. The dissertation covers an important problem of agricultural development at micro or macro level or a related field, like environment or rural development of the original country of the candidate. The aim is to qualify the candidates as researchers and teachers, who are then able to analyse the (changing) problems of the own country in a systematic way and to derive well founded development strategies. Most of the former students act today as multiplier at universities or other institutions in there home country. This objective is supported by many ongoing co operations and continuing exchange activities after the study in Giessen or Hohenheim.
