The complex examinations will be set for the period between 20th of May and 15th of July in the Spring semester / between 17 December and 1 February in the Winter semester.

In the theoretical part the doctoral student will be tested in 2-3 subjects. The list of subjects is included in the curriculum of the doctoral schools. (see www.elte.hu/kpr) In case of failure in one subject (or more), you can retake the exam(s) once in the same exam period.
