There are six doctoral schools at ELTE's Faculty of Science, offering a number of doctoral programs. The previous doctoral program was 3 years long, however, since the September of 2016 only the new, 4 years long program is launched. Following the completion of the 3 years long doctoral program (earning the final certificate) the possibility to earn the rank is offered in a separate procedure. This procedure is included in the 4 years long program.

During the program students acquire scientific and methodological research skills, as well as deeper knowledge of their chosen topic and do invdividual research under the supervision of a consultant. The University Doctoral Council is responsible for the leadership and management of the doctoral program. You can find ELTE's description of the doctoral program here and ELTE's Doctoral Code here.
