Application in Göttingen

The prerequisites for an application to the Joint PhD Programme in Agricultural Economics are:


  • a consecutive Master- or Diploma degree (eq. 300 ECTS incl. BSc) in agriculture or relevant field of study with a grade better than 2.9 German- or 5.1 Chilean Grade.


  • excellent English proficiency (TOEFL >79 pts)

    we also accept some other English-testing procedures

  • a PhD research proposal

  • a supervisor from the participating Departments in Talca or Göttingen who has agreed to supervise your PhD studies.

    How to find a supervisor?

    Attention: Free places for PhD applicants are limited and the number of applicants huge, so to find a supervisor it is not enough to search an e-mail address and send a round mail. This is certain to fail!!!

  • two letters of recommendation

  • special qualification, which will be evaluated within an interview

  • a list of past scientific achievements (publications, participation in research projects)

  • adequate funding for at least three years studies in Germany

  • a curriculum vitae (CV) preferably in Europass-format
