The program is designed for those who wish to engage in scientific research, design future materials, meet internationally renowned researchers. The Faculty of Materials and Chemical Engineering offers these opportunities throughout the 4-year PhD programme.
The Kerpely Antal Doctoral School of Materials Science and Technologies welcomes students interested in contemporary topics in materials science. State-of-the-art laboratories and equipment are available for PhD research and joint projects with industry provide opportunities to expand professional skills.
To be admitted to the doctoral programme, applicants must first receive a Letter of Acceptance. This means we only accept applications for topics published on the www.doktori.hu website.
