Guinea-Bissau has a high economic potential in the agricultural and tourism sectors. The Wilhelm von Humboldt University Institute has set itself the goal of promoting and consolidating this potential by establishing sustainable educational opportunities for both domestic and foreign students. To achieve this, future leaders and key players of Guinea-Bissau will be qualified in an educational institution accredited according to European university standards. In this regard, the Wilhelm von Humboldt University Institute acts as an organic unit of the Universidade Am?lcar Cabral (UAC) while maintaining economic and operational independence.

The German statesman, scholar and educator Wilhelm von Humboldt envisioned a "Universitas litterarum" in which the unity of teaching and research would be realized and an all-encompassing humanistic education is made possible for the students. The Humboldtian ideal of education, which we live by, therefore aims to promote education of men and women and their individuality in an all-embracing way.

The Wilhelm von Humboldt University Institute understands unity in diversity and wants to reduce differences between cultures and languages, without neglecting their students individuality. Against this background, the name Wilhelm von Humboldt not only stands for a strong European humanistic ideal of education, but also for a universal approach to the development of individuals in education-oriented developmental work.

The Wilhelm von Humboldt University Institute will offer a doctoral degree as the highest level of academic competence. The doctorate will be designed and implemented to meet the strict regulations of European Higher Education and will be fully accredited. Students will be expected to adhere to world-class research standards and present their findings at conferences and workshops around the world.

The Institute employs a rigorous admissions process and carefully reviews all submitted credentials and references. In addition, a sophisticated system of external second assessments and collaboration with prestigious academic institutions in other countries contribute to the quality of academic research emanating from the Institute.

The PhD program is limited to three years (with the possibility of extension). This supports both students and supervisors to be precise and to conduct concise and focused research.

Participation in biannual research schools (either on-site or online) is mandatory and will facilitate exchange and networking among students, alumni, and staff. In addition, all doctoral condidates are requested to publish papers in relevant and peer-review scholarly journals.
