Overview

Program description:
The Doctoral School of Mathematics of the Eötvös Loránd University was founded in 2001. The topics covered by the PhD Program comprise most of pure mathematics including computer science, combinatorial optimization, statistical and mathematical physics, as well as most of applied mathematics including the full spectrum of operations research and statistics. The program is research oriented: apart from attending specialized courses, our students usually start their research work by the end of the first year. Thus by the end of the program most of them already obtain results which are published (or accepted for publication) at internationally renowned journals. At the end of each year the students report about their research progress. After two years students have to pass a comprehensive examination.

Type of entrance exam:
oral and written

online

Entrance exam description:
A written test will be sent to the applicants, covering basic fields of mathematics. In a limited amount of time the applicant will have to send back the solutions. In some cases a skype interview may follow.,
