Physics PhD

Doctoral School of Physics

History of the Physics Doctoral School

The Doctoral School of Physics of Eötvös Loránd University was founded in 1994. The Institute of Physics at Eötvös Loránd University, ranked highly on the various international lists (like CHE), employs almost one hundred highly qualified permanent staff members working in various branches of experimental and theoretical physics.

In addition, the Institute collaborates with the equally well-qualified research staff of the institutes of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. Thanks to our supervisors coming from these institutions, our students can have access to the largest international research facilities (LHC at CERN, RHIC at BNL, LIGO, etc.) in particle physics, astronomy and astrophysics. We collaborate with several additional research institutes and universities outside Hungary, and regularly have visitors from abroad doing research or giving courses here. Thus our students have many opportunities to join  international research activities and establish professional contacts early in their career.
