There are many business and economic research challenges that are being addressed using IT tools. The major sub-disciplines of business informatics in the enterprise architecture approach touch all the value-creating activities of IT. These include the mapping of business logic, the design and implementation of IT systems, the management of information systems, including data and knowledge management, the regulatory issues of the information society, and the research and development of intelligent solutions for the application areas. Our main research focus is on the potential applications of innovative information and communication technologies and the research challenges of data management.

The business informatics specialist is responsible for understanding real business processes in the information society’s conditions and values, solving the problems they face using IT and related modelling and application tasks. A successful culmination of a business informatics master’s is a doctoral school that equips its participants with the skills to learn continuously, develop the knowledge they have acquired, and become independent scientific researchers. It will enable graduates to carry out complex analyses of business problems from IT perspectives and to teach and carry out research in these fields by providing them with a modern approach and methodology in data science, information management and computing.
The doctoral school will build primarily on the MSc in Business Informatics, but students from other disciplines are also welcome. In addition to the MSc in Business Informatics, doctoral students are also expected from the MSc in Insurance and Financial Mathematics, accredited in 2007 and jointly established by ELTE and Corvinus University of Budapest, the MSc in Business Development and the MSc in Regional and Environmental Economics, as well as from the MSc in Informatics and the MSc in Programme Design.
The application criteria as well as the general rules of the admission procedure are listed in Section 15 of the University Doctoral Regulations, which is available here.
