The Mathematics of Decision-Making: Launching the Operations Research and Game Theory Doctoral Programme

One of the highlights of our 2026 doctoral campaign is the launch of the Operations Research and Game Theory Doctoral Programme. The goal of this new program is to train researchers capable of developing mathematical models and algorithms for the most complex decision-making problems.
Budapesti Corvinus Egyetem

Students can immerse themselves in science through two specializations: Operations Research, focusing on optimization and efficiency, and Game Theory, which centers on the analysis of strategic interactions. 

We primarily welcome talents with a Master’s degree in engineering, natural sciences, or mathematics. From Corvinus’ internal talent pool, this program offers a direct path toward a doctoral degree, particularly for students majoring in Applied Economics

Don’t forget: the application portal opens on February 23, 2026, and you can finalize your application until March 16. If you enjoy mathematical challenges and want to become an international expert in strategic decision-making, this is the place for you!
