Overview
Program description:
The Doctoral School of Chemistry of the Eötvös Loránd University was founded in 1993. The topics covered by the PhD Program include practically the whole spectrum of chemistry, i.e., inorganic chemistry, physical chemistry, analytical chemistry, environmental chemistry, theoretical chemistry, organic and biochemistry, electrochemistry, structural chemistry, polymer chemistry. The program is research oriented, the students start to work on their chosen topic in the respective laboratory under the guidance of a project leader. They should listen to selected courses and complete 8 exams. By the end of the program most of them already obtain results which are published (or accepted for publication) at internationally renowned journals. At least two such papers are necessary to obtain the degree. The students report about their research progress during their study at a yearly conference organized by the School.
