Doctoral School of Linguistics
Doctoral Programme in Applied Linguistics
The Doctoral School of Linguistics offers doctoral programmes in major core areas of linguistics, including syntactic theory, phonological theory, applied linguistics, sociolinguistics, Hungarian descriptive linguistics, historical linguistics, classical philology, Arabic studies, English studies, Germanic studies, Romance languages, Slavic studies and theoretical linguistics. While doctoral (PhD) degrees in the majority of fields listed qualify graduates to work in higher education and conduct academic research, PhDs in theoretical linguistics and applied linguistics also provide skills that can be marketed in industry and specialized fields such as research and development.
To obtain the PhD degree students are expected to collect all the 240 credits of the programme, pass the Comprehensive Examination at the end of the fourth semester, submit the dissertation within three years after the Comprehensive Examination, and defend it both at the pre-defence and at the final defence in front of a committee.
The program consists of three main components: courses, weekly consultations with a supervisor, and supervised research, leading to the writing of a PhD dissertation. Compulsory and elective courses include the following: Applied linguistics, Language pedagogy, Language testing and assessment, First language acquisition, Second language acquisition, Language technology, Corpus linguistics, Pragmatics, Sociolinguistics, Psycholinguistics, Phonology, Morphology, Syntax, Semantics, Academic English, Research methodology, Statistics, etc. Courses are taken during the first two years of the training, which period is concluded by a complex examination. Consultations with the supervisor are scheduled from the first to the fourth year of the programme. Additional credits must be earned through research activities: conference presentations and research publications.
