The goal of this program is to train professional physicists who have a broad overview of contemporary physics and are able to join research on their specialized fields. This program is recommended to applicants who already have their BSc in physics and want to be research physicists by deepening their knowledge. This program enables students to have broad background in the major fields of physics (atomic and molecular physics, condensed matter physics, nuclear physics, particle physics, statistical physics) and being being specialized in selected areas (astrophysics, atomic and molecular physics, nuclear and heavy ion physics, biophysics, condensed matter physics, computational physics, environmental physics, particle physics, statistical physics and complex system).
A BSc degree in physics is preferred. Other BSc degrees are also accepted if the applicant has acquired at least 65 ECTS credits in Physics (min. 20 credits) and Mathematics (min. 20 credits). Applicants still pursuing their BSc studies should obtain the diploma or at least a certificate of being entitled to the diploma, before starting their MSc studies.
Entrance examination:

Entrance type:
Both
Minimum level of language proficiency (oral):
B1
Minimum level of language proficiency (written):
B1
Place of examination:
Online or in Person
The entrance examination consists of a written part and an oral part. Both are held through Skype, except if the applicant is staying in Budapest. In the latter case, the entrance examination is held at the Institute of Physics. The applicant will be notified about examination dates by e-mail. In the written part, four problems are to be solved within 120 minutes. The problems are in classical mechanics, electrodynamics, quantum mechanics and statistical physics, all at BSc level. Following the evaluation, those who pass the written part will be interviewed through Skype. The applicant will be notified about the result of the examination by e-mail.
