Admission requirements

The PhD program is open to both domestic and foreign students. Applicants must hold a Master of Science (MSc) degree, or its equivalent, in agriculture, biology, geography, or related fields.

Students from universities that do not offer MSc degrees may also qualify if their training is equivalent (e.g., German students with a "Diplom"). Students with a GPA better than 1.5 after having completed the first two semesters of their master studies are also invited to apply for the international PhD program in agricultural sciences.
For China, Mongolia and Vietnam, only APS-proven (https://www.aps.org.cn/web/indexe.jsp) academic transcript and degree certificates are accepted for application.

There is no age limit for applicants. For further information, please contact the program coordinator´s office.
