The purpose of doctoral education
Doctoral training is primarily the scientific preparation of future research and teaching professionals. In the training system, the acquisition of the knowledge and skills that are indispensable for the continuation of research activities at the international level is of particular importance. The training provides essential methodological and theoretical knowledge, enables the acquisition of comprehensive skills in a specialized field, and also includes individual research and the preparation of a dissertation.
The aim of the doctoral training is for the doctoral students to be able to plan and carry out primary and secondary research and analyze and synthesize the literature in order to continue their high-level scientific work. Another requirement is the acquisition and use of scientific methodological applications during research work, as well as publication in both Hungarian and foreign languages. The doctoral student must prove these skills and abilities by preparing and defending the dissertation.
The duration of the doctoral program is 4 years, which is divided into 2+2 years. In the first two years students have contact classes and they do research works. By the end of the fourth semester there is a comprehensive examination where students present their achievements and the future plans regarding the doctoral work. The last two years are about research work and the preparation of the dissertation (doctoral thesis). By the end of the fourth year the active student status will end. Within three years of the complex examination, the doctoral degree procedure must be initiated.

About the Doctoral School
The most important organization of the faculty's scientific activity is the József Cziráki Doctoral School of Wood Sciences and Technologies which has been continuously accredited since 2002 and works in the framework of seven programmes.
In addition to the institutes and departments of the Faculty of Wood Engineering and Creative Industries, two institutes of the Faculty of Forestry Engineering participate in the training. There are three forms of training: full-time, correspondence and individual training.
Characteristic of the doctoral training is that it aims to study the understanding, processing, utilization and recycling of tree, the wonderful product of the forest based on scientific basis. In doing so, the faculty set the objective of researching basic sciences, applied sciences and practical knowledge.
The faculty has a close relationship with forestry, wood production, technical sciences and wood processing, thus making complex researcher's thinking natural.
Personnel conditions of the Doctoral School are very good, as the education is carried out by wood scientists from all over the country. In addition to domestic tree researchers, many foreign professors assisted and still assist the education.
The Doctoral School’s work is directed toward pragmatism by the Innovation Centre operating at the Faculty of Wood Engineering and Creative Industries. Our full-time doctoral students are also constantly involved in the university’s educational work.
