The Institute of Development Policy and Management (IOB ) offers a
multi-disciplinary Doctoral Programme, leading to a PhD in Development
Studies administered by IOB and granted by the University of Antwerp. It in
addition cooperates with the Faculty of Applied Economic Sciences (FAES) and
the Faculty of Political and Social Sciences (FPSC) at the university of
Antwerp to offer disciplinary PhD programmes in the field of development.
The IOB PhD programme is related to the research agenda of IOB. Inevitably,
IOB can only offer high quality guidance to a limited number of PhD-students
and therefore adheres to a strict policy in considering and accepting
applications.
Many PhD students have institutional links with IOB (e.g. as an alumnus of an
IOB Master’s programme or as a researcher from a partner institute, or as a
collaborator of a development agency that has commissioned research from IOB),
and are invited to join the research team on this basis. IOB will however also
consider applications from other candidates provided they have already secured
the (self)finance for their PhD and provided they convince us that their
research project fits with the research agenda of a senior staff member of IOB.
From this it follows that spontaneous applications from students without previous
relation to the IOB and without funding and the approval of an IOB supervisor for their PhD project will not be
considered.
For additional information, contact Dr. Johan Bastiaensen, Chairman of
the IOB Doctoral Commission, at: johan.bastiaensen@ua.ac.be.

Students from development countries
1) Each year the Flemish Inter-University Council (VLIR UOS) grants 10
ICP PhD scholarships to promising graduates of VLIR-sponsored post-graduate
programmes, among them the 3 IOB Master programmes. The scholarship is awarded
for 4 years (2x2), for research topics relevant to development. Students
conduct research both at their local institution (2/3) and at the Flemish
university (1/3) (“sandwich” principle).
You can apply for the scholarship:
- If you have graduated from one of the 15
VLIR-sponsored Master programmes offered at different Flemish universities
(including the 3 English Master programmes offered at IOB) less than 5
years before the start of the scholarship
- If you have graduated with at least the grade
of distinction
- If you are a national of a developing country
on the VLIR UOS country list (attached) and resident in a developing
country on the day of application
- If you are not more then 40 years old on the
day of submitting the application

2) BTC is the Belgian agency for development cooperation. Belgian
Technical Cooperation manages the scholarships and the traineeships granted by
the Directorate-general for Development Cooperation (DGDC).
Each year, the DGDC awards a number of scholarships, and this
exclusively in the partner countries and to the exclusion of any other
country. The DGDC does not award scholarships to Belgian citizens who
wish to study abroad.
The scholarship files are selected in the field; therefore all candidates
interested by a scholarship should send their application form directly to the
Attaché for Development Cooperation or to the Embassy of Belgium in the partner
country. Only these authorities can deliver the necessary application forms.
More information (application procedure, eligibility criteria, forms,..)
can be found on the BTC website.
