The PhD in International Development Studies combines working on individual PhD research projects with participation in taught modules. The variety of modules offered allows for tailor made qualification for each PhD candidate. Modules offered by the IEE itself, other faculties at RUB or external cooperation partners deal with developmental issues from a multidisciplinary perspective.

Interdisciplinary workshops on research related competencies and research management skills as well as a broad career preparation program are offered by the RUB Research School . Offers include a wide range of transferable skills courses in Research Related Competencies (Scientific Writing, Scientific Presentation and Professional (Scientific) Communication), Career Preparation, and Research Management Skills. These offers are complemented by funding opportunities for international research activities.

Adding to this, PhD candidates regularly report on the progress of their own research projects during meetings of the IEE Research Clusters .

A detailed overview of the structure of the PhD IDS is provided in the curriculum . The Doctoral Statutes ( offical German and translated English version ) are also available.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS OF PHD IDS APPLICANTS

  • Application & Study Programme
  • Costs & Funding
  • Accommodation
  • Getting to RUB

The only way to apply for the PhD IDS is via the online portal .

  • Qualified university degree (Master or an equivalent to the German Diploma or Staatsexamen) with an overall grade equivalent to at least 2.7 (fully satisfactory) in the German grading system after completion of relevant studies with a duration of at least 4 years.
  • For international degrees the equivalence will be judged during the application process. Candidates who have to follow preparatory studies before admission to the PhD in International Development Studies can be accepted for such preparatory studies at the Ruhr-University Bochum.

We don´t have any templates or special forms for the letters of recommendation. Please ask your referees to write letters for you in a free form. The letters have to be signed and stamped and sent to us in PDF format. Please make sure that the contact details of your referee are given in case we have any further questions.

Your certificates have to be translated into English or German languages by an official translator or any notary public office in your country.

The duration of each programme cycle is three years including a field research period of up to six months and excluding time for your oral defense and the publication of your thesis.

We prefer complete applications. However as in your case, there sometimes is a good reason why you cannot submit a complete application. You can therefore apply without the Master certificate and hand it in later as soon as you receive it.

In that case, please send us your application including the following documents instead of the Master certificate:

  • complete transcript of records of all exams taken.
  • letter from the examination office or programme coordinator stating that the Master thesis was submitted and that the master thesis is the only examination missing to complete your master studies.

It is possible to have a personal consultation for discussing individual questions. However, please understand that this service can only be offered to individuals who could not resolve their questions based on our online information services. These services are:

  • our website:  http://german-development-university.de/studies/phd-in-international-development-studies-phd-ids .
  • our email-based response service (sending your request to [email protected] )
  • the following documents: short information , CV-template , scholarship information , research proposal guidelines

The Institute of Development Research and Development Policy (IEE) does NOT offer any scholarships for the PhD IDS.  However, the IEE applied successfully for the “Graduate School Scholarship Programme” (GSSP) of the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD). As a consequence, we have the opportunity to nominate two selected international applicants of the PhD in International Development Studies (PhD IDS) in 2024 for a DAAD scholarship. In order to apply for GSSP scholarship, please use the online-platform  to submit your documents in pdf format  and enter “GSSP” under “Scholarship donor” which you find under “5. Financing”. Please note: GSSP applicants must use and submit this template for academic recommendation letters.

For general information on German institutions offering scholarships to students at the PhD level please take a look into our “ PhD IDS Scholarship Information ” document.  In case you would like to apply for a scholarship directly with the DAAD (not GSSP) or any other funding organization, given that you fulfill the formal admission requirements, we can issue a preliminary letter of recognition stating that your application will be considered during the next selection process. To obtain such a letter you have to submit your application documents first via the online portal.

As far as the requested acceptance letter is concerned, please note that we cannot provide such a letter before the final selection takes place (early summer 2023). What we can offer is to provide a ‘letter of recognition’, which confirms that you are meeting the admission requirements after we have received and screened your application documents. You need to submit the complete application documents for that. Please let us know if you need the ‘letter of recognition’ for your scholarship application.

Please note, a valid health insurance is mandatory for a stay in Germany. You cannot enrol at a university without proof of health insurance. Proof of insurance is also required to apply for or extend your visa.

Self-financed students and students with another scholarship are usually responsible for their health insurance. The IEE will provide further advice in this regard after admission to the PhD IDS programme. You can already take out a health insurance from your home country. As a student in Germany, you have the option to either have the health insurance of your country of origin recognized in Germany or to insure yourself with a German health insurance company. The latter is the recommended option. Please find more information here .

There are a number of student dorms around the university. You will also get a check list of organisational issues after being admitted which includes different options for the arrangement of accommodation. Our staff will assist you on request, but you can also apply for accommodation yourself online. See  AKAFÖ  for details.

Flat shares (“Wohngemeinschaften”, acronym “WG”) are a very common way for German students to find housing at affordable prices. Be aware that in most cases you need to be in the city in order to present yourself to your future flatmates. This guide  can help you find your way through private house-hunting in Bochum.

You can change your accommodation after the expiration date of your contract. In the meantime, you can apply for a new accommodation at AKAFÖ or a private hostel. But have in mind that there is a waiting list and that you must wait about six months from the date you have applied. Most hostels offer semester contracts. Depending on your contract you have to inform the administration of the hostel 1-3 months in advance in writing that you would like to cancel the contract.

All international students are required to register with the Residents' Registration Office (Einwohnermeldeamt) and apply for the residence permit at the Foreigners' Registration Office (Ausländerbehörde). Students who are required to have a student visa have to extend the visa issued in their home country (normally valid for three months) into a one year residence permit.

FIRST go to "Einwohnermeldeamt" and THEN go to "Ausländerbehörde". Please also see the general information about possible visa regulations at the German embassy of your respective country of origin.
