The programme focuses on the mathematical modelling of complex decision-making problems, as well as the development and analysis of algorithms. We train experts who, while deepening their theoretical foundations in optimization and strategic decision-making, are also equipped to tackle the challenges of modern systems.
The general rules of the admission procedure are set out in Sections 21–22 of the University Doctoral Regulations (EDSZ), which can be accessed by clicking here.
The list of required documents is available by clicking here!
The admission decision is based on a preliminary review of the submitted application materials and the results of the oral interview.
The committee assesses the applicant’s professional commitment and scientific aptitude. If the applicant does not hold a language certificate, their English proficiency will also be verified during the interview. In the 2026 admission cycle, interviews are primarily held in person, though online participation (via Microsoft Teams) is possible in justified cases.
