Spring Semester

Enrolment Information >>

Download: Bulletin

A Ph.D. at the Óbuda University is a degree that can be earned by sufficiently proving the candidate's ability for self standing scientific work that must be demonstrated by writing a thesis summarizing the candidate's research results. Furthermore, it is necessary to pass a set of qualifying examinations in some basic and applied sciences related to the field of the submitted thesis. Candidates are to publish their results prior to the submission of their theses.

Applicants for the Ph.D. program must hold an M.Sc., M.Phil. or equivalent degree issued by an academic institution and must possess an overall understanding of, and a high competence in, their field of knowledge and be familiar with cognitive disciplines. They must be capable of using research techniques. Admission requirements include excellent grades (mainly or exclusively A's), an excellent M.Sc. (or equivalent) final project, and/or the achievement of good initial results in research – depending on the length of period between the obtaining of the Master's degree and the time of the application. Applicants working on their Master's project can be admitted conditionally. For applicants who have already spent a few years in scientific or engineering practice since their first postgraduate degree, their achievements during this time will be considered in addition to their graduation results. Besides their professional achievements, applicants should also demonstrate a sense of responsibility for the advancement of scientific knowledge.

Ph.D. candidates carry out their studies and research on an individual basis under the guidance of a professor or a senior member of the academic staff at the faculty concerned. This research work must contribute to scientific knowledge in general and it must be recognized as such by the international scientific community. In order to prove this, doctoral candidates must present their research results at national and international conferences and symposia and they are expected to publish the significant and major achievements of their works in internationally referred professional periodicals. (Conference proceedings papers are usually accepted only as partial fulfillment of the requirement to publish one's results properly.)

Besides the research work, the Ph.D. supervisor usually recommends the participation in various courses related to the research topic. In such a case, the appropriate examinations must be successfully completed, the results of which will be documented in the transcripts of the candidate. Similarly, the advancement in individual study and research will be documented on a semester basis by the supervisor.

Work towards a Ph.D. degree requires at least 3 years (6 semesters) of study. This time might be considerably longer, depending on the topic and the candidate's personal diligence. It is possible to set individual Ph.D. study plans for candidates who spend a part of their preparation period at another institution, e.g. their own original research oriented affiliation or another university.

Upon completing all necessary work for the Ph.D. thesis, this dissertation must be prepared according to the formal requirements in the Doctoral Code of the Óbuda University.

According to the procedural code of our university, every Ph.D. candidate must apply to the Doctoral Board of the specific faculty as an individual, although the recommendation of the supervising professor and department, including the attachment of the protocol of the departmental public presentation of the thesis (including the comments and recommendations of several departmental and/or internal referees, and other professional experts of the field) is a requirement.

The conferred degree is declared and testified by a corresponding Ph.D. diploma at the next solemn ceremony of the university by the Dean of the Informatics Faculty.

Some M.Sc. programs offer refresher courses or preparatory semesters so students can upgrade their knowledge in relevant engineering subjects. Applicants must submit transcripts and if they have been employed since graduation, details of their professional experience.

Students generally follow an approved curriculum, but elective subjects allow for personal interests. Courses are run for small groups (minimum five members) and the students are expected to work individually under the direction of a personal tutor. Students have free access to laboratories, research facilities and computers. M.Sc. program is generally 4 semesters, normally 2 years in duration and consists of 26 hours of instruction per week and 5 examinations per semester. After successful completion of a thesis and final exams the M.Sc. degree is granted which enables its holder to do research and solve high level engineering tasks.

They also provide a thorough knowledge of practical engineering and offer opportunities for specialization. Experimental work in well-equipped laboratories is emphasized.

The B.Sc. degree programs can provide opportunities for specialization that differ from faculty to faculty. Faculties divide their programs into branches with compulsory electives and offer optional elective subjects as well.

The hours of instruction range from 26 to 32 hours per week. Some variation occurs from faculty to faculty and also during the last semester when students work on their final projects. Students typically take 5 to 6 exams each semester. In addition, students are required and encouraged to participate in active research and design in the project laboratories and to develop their abilities to do independent research.

Upon successful completion of the curriculum final exams and the final project, a student will be granted a B.Sc. degree, which certifies its holder's ability to be engaged in engineering production work.
