Your research will benefit from expert advice by a dedicated mentor team. After a deep dive into the relevant literature, you develop an innovative research proposal and design your field research. The core of your PhD is the collection of data in your selected research region. this period may last from three to nine months and may be divided into two field visits. Your supervisor from Hohenheim will visit during your field research to advise you in the field. The field research also helps you to strengthen linkages with research organisations in your home country.
After returning from the field, the university offers you a highly conducive environment to analyse and write up your results. The recommended cumulative structure of your PhD thesis allows you to publish journal papers while pursuing your PhD. The final steps after submitting your thesis are the defence and the publication of your thesis.
