2. comprehensive understanding of doctoral studies in the field of Agricultural Production and Resource Economics at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) in Germany

Additionally, you will have the opportunity to present yourself and your research idea in 1-on-1 interviews with Prof. Dr. Sauer (Head of Chair of Agricultural Production and Resource Economics at TUM), who is going to issue a supervision letter to promising candidates. A supervision letter is required for the DAAD scholarship application. If you are successful there, you can start your PhD in mid-2018.
