The goal of the Doctoral School is to train academics and professionals who have a comprehensive understanding in safety and security sciences and profound knowledge in a specific area of their respective research, and can perform individual, creative research in the field and work with the practical applications. Supervisors and professors of the Doctoral School are the teachers and researchers with outstanding scientific records from three faculties of Óbuda University and other academics invited from various Hungarian universities and research institutes of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. Currently there are 50 teachers, among them 40 supervisors. The academic program of the Doctoral School aims at understanding the relations among the biometrical systems and devices, and new structure and method develop, by integrating various areas of sciences. Special emphasis is given to critical infrastructures and systems, in particular to explosive metalworking technologies. The activities of the Doctoral School also cover advanced approach to IT-technology. Research areas: Biometrical devices and methods, Metal science and explosive metalworking technologies, UAV systems, Critical infrastructures, Info-communication systems and technology.
The students of the Doctoral School, due to the complex character of Safety and Security sciences, must be engineering or science graduates with a deep graduate level knowledge in safety and security sciences, and must demonstrate their expertise in an admission test. The Examination Board for the entrance examination of the PhD program evaluates both the records of the previous studies and the submitted research plan of the applicant. During the PhD program the Board evaluates the grades of the studied courses, the progress in the research activity and the quality of the scientific publications (if any).
