Doctoral School of Humanities – (Ph.D.)

To obtain a PhD, students have to take a succesful comprehensive exam at the end of their studies and defend their dissertation in a public debate.

The international agreements between universities and the diverse international academic relations of the supervising teachers provide outstanding students with the opportunity to partake in foreign research programmes or to complete their doctoral studies in the so-called Cotutelle form.

The doctoral schools frequently organise student conferences which serve as excellent forums for talented students to present the results of their independent research and to develop the academic skills indispensable for a future scientist.

The students work on their dissertation topic under the guidance of an estabilished member of Hungarian academic life. In these scientific workshops they become acquainted with the latest international developments in their field of study (secondary literature, methodology, research).

Feedback proves that those who have obtained a PhD at our Faculty are highly trained academics with a profound knowledge of their subject areas, well-equipped to continue their research both in Hungary and abroad.
