The PhD School in Mathematics of Eötvös Loránd University was founded in 2001. The topics covered by the PhD Program comprise most of pure mathematics, including also combinatorial optimization, computer science, statistical and mathematical physics, as well as most of applied mathematics including the full spectrum of operations research, numerical analysis and statistics.The goal of this program is to introduce students to high level research in mathematics.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 they already obtain results which are published (or accepted for publication) in internationally renowned journals. At the end of each year the students report about their research progress. At the end of the second year of studies the students must pass a comprehensive examination.A master’s degree in mathematics (or in a related field) is a requirement. A reasonable command of English language is also needed (most international certificates will be accepted). Criteria for ranking at the admission procedure will include:previous university achievements (examinations, comprehensive examinations, qualification of degree)achievements related to previous research work (awards obtained in students’ academic circles, publications in the particular professional area)feasibility of the research programThis program is recommended to applicants who have good results from the above aspects. The program enables students to carry on independent research in mathematics.Specializations: pure mathematicsapplied mathematics
