Overview
Program description:
The Pál Csonka Doctoral School is an interdisciplinary school with focus on scientific research in a broad field centered around Architectural Engineering. Relevent disciplines include architecture, energetics, urban sciences, construction and management, structural engineering, applied mechanics, and applied geometry. Most of our doctoral students have masters degrees in Arcitecture, but we also accept students with other types of engineering, arts or mathematics degrees.
The main focus of the 4-year curriculum is independent research in close collaboration with the supervisor of the student. Students are also expected to take and to teach some courses. The main goal is a high-quality doctoral thesis supported by publications in international, peer-reviewed journals. We seek applicants with prior research experience and good English communication skills.
Applicants with experience in architectural design rather than in scientific research should also consider the The Doctoral School of Architecture of the same institution.
