The Training Structure of the Doctoral School

The primary objective of the doctoral education programme is to prepare future researchers and lecturers for scientific activity. The system lays special emphasis on the acquisition of knowledge and skills that are indispensable for professional research at the international level.

The doctoral education programme divided into 2+2 training phases, where:

• The first phase (education and research) offers introductory training in theory and methodology for all participants in the form of compulsory methodology courses and specialised courses (1st year). In the second year, the emphasis shifts to the acquisition of an extensive knowledge and proficiency. To that end, students participate in compulsory and optional specialised courses of the education programme. Individual research, the participation in teaching activities, scientific activities and publication activities also contribute to that goal. The phase closes with a complex exam.
• The second phase (the phase of research and dissertation writing) is the phase of the degree procedure. It entails the preparation, the internal defence and the public defence of the dissertation. Until the dissertation is complete, the candidate performs individual research under the guidance of his/her supervisor, participates in scientific public life, publishes works and, optionally works as a teacher. The supervisor/supervisors monitors/monitor the activity of the students or candidates on a continuous basis and assesses/assess it in every semester.

The Requirements of Organised Education

The requirements for organised full-time and part-time courses are set out in the table below.

The definition of the education and research requirements of the Doctoral School for full-time, correspondent, and individual training participants is based on the following credit values:

a) The student can earn 40 credits in education, 104 credits in research, and 24 credits in consulting, 56 credits in publication, and 16 credits in professional, academic and public activity. 16 additional credits can be earned through teaching.

b) A minimum of 90 credits must be completed by the end of the fourth active semester; this must include at least seven publication credits.

c) “Professional, scientific and public activities”: two credits per semester in any combination of:

• workplace and public defence participation in a local or other doctoral school (1 credit);
• compulsory participation in workshop events at the local doctoral school (1 credit);
• participation in a professional and/or scientific event (e.g. conference, workshop, committee meeting, professional scientific presentation) (1 credit).

A certificate of task completion must be presented, signed by the organiser of the event, but a copy of the attendance sheet is also acceptable. One participation = 1 credit.

d) The 56-credit publication activity must be completed no later than the end of the eighth semester. A minimum of six publications must be completed as follows:

• at least three articles or communications published in peer-reviewed scientific journals or volumes, at least one of which must be in a foreign language (one in Hungarian/native language = 11 credits, one in a foreign language = 15 credits); at least one of these must be a first-authored article and at least one "B" or "Q2" level;
• at least two articles or communications (not abstracts) in your mother tongue or in a foreign language, published in a conference publication with ISBN or ISSN. (1 = 7 credits);
• at least one other publication (e.g. review) (1 = 5 credits).

e) Students are required to register in the MTMT system and upload their publications. Works not included in the MTMT database will not be taken into account in the assessment of the student’s scientific publication activity. Only those studies that are recognised by MTMT as being of a scientific nature will be considered.
