Eötvös Loránd University

The Institute of Biology consists of 12 departments (Anthropology; Biochemistry; Ethology; of General Zoology; Genetics; Immunology; Microbiology; Physiology and Neurobiology; Plant Anatomy; Plant Physiology and Molecular Plant Biology; Plant Systematics, Ecology and Theoretical Biology; Systematic Zoology and Ecology), with around 100 staff members. Moreover many courses are taught by specialists working in different other universities, and research institutes. The Institute gives the most differentiated education in the field of biology in Hungary.

The 12 departments, with more than 40 different research groups, and groups financed by the Hungarian Academy of Sciences (including „Momentum” groups) form the most powerful, and differentiated biological research facilities among the Hungarian science universities. Most of the staff members (>90%) obtained a PhD degree, and collaborators of the institute have proportionally the highest number of basic research grants from the Hungarian Research Fund. International agencies (e.g. Welcome Trust, European funds) similarly help our work. Many post-doctoral grantees participate in the research.

Ecology-, Evolutionary and Conservation Biology, Molecular-, Immune- and Microbiology, Molecular Genetics, Cell- and Developmental Biology, Plant Biology, Neuro- and Human Biology

Successful completion of the curriculum enables graduates to recognize and analyze new scientific problems in biology, and to plan, perform and evaluate simple laboratory or field experiments; and prepares for M.Sc. studies. Besides basic and advanced courses in fields of biology there are also special courses offered. Students have a certain freedom to choose special courses according to their interest and later M.Sc. specialization. Besides passing the courses, students must write and present a thesis and pass a closing examination.

Advanced courses (50% practical) inform students on frontline problems in biology. Based on supervised research, independent results must be summarized in a M.Sc. thesis. Graduates will be able to participate creatively in research projects, recognize and handle complex problems through well-planned and performed experiments. Their knowledge is an excellent basis to continue studies in a Ph.D. program. Specializations: Ecology-, Evolutionary and Conservation Biology, Molecular-, Immune- and Microbiology, Molecular Genetics, Cell- and Developmental Biology, Plant Biology and Neuro- and Human Biology.

theoretical chemistry, organic chemistry, analytical chemistry

The curriculum of the program consists of 25 credits basic scientific courses (mathematics, physics, computer science, economical management, quality and environmental knowledge). The core chemical part contains 118 credits. The minimal size of the specialized knowledge module is at least 18 credits, it contains semi-optional laboratory courses in chemistry and additional courses of mathematics, physics, computer science, biology and earth science. The BSc thesis reflects 10 credits scientific work. The students have a module of elective courses, where non-chemical courses can be chosen.

The chemistry master programme is intended to be a training with a flexible choice of courses, where students with different entry skills are able to acquire a standard knowledge of all fields in chemistry at the master level, a general experience in laboratory work, an advanced knowledge at least in one of the disciplines of chemistry, and the skill to develop and apply ideas within a research project. The programme contains only limited number of compulsory courses.

The Materials Science program is an interdisciplinary M.S. program aimed at providing a rigorous education in materials science and the fundamental physics and chemistry that underlie this discipline. Educational goals are achieved through both coursework and training in cross-disciplinary research supervised by one science faculty member. The courses offer an overview of the types of materials; their chemical and physical structures; and properties.

Faculty members have international training and working experience with PhD degrees for senior staff. Core faculty is supported by external lecturers. Small-group lectures, discussions, and close student-teacher relationship are intended to facilitate strong engagement besides the high-quality and exercise oriented teaching materials. Students have to study continuously in order to pass the mid-term tests, do the home assignments, and understand some part of the related literature alone. Student presentations and activity on seminars are parts of the evaluation.

Research activity and supplementary work is strongly appreciated at the institute. External partners of the institute offer different opportunities and scholarships for the most talented students, students are encouraged to participate at the Scientific Student Conference, and the teachers of the faculty put high emphasis on giving support to enthusiastic students. The isntitute has strong track record of publications and presentations at scientific conferences.

Microeconomics, Econometrics, Health Economics

The program is based on some basic principles. Applied economics has two aspects; economic core material is highly privileged against related subjects and the methods are presented as relevant tools for analyzing the real-life problems of the world. We created a professional program in which the focus is not only on the curriculum but the education of open-minded economists. The program consists of courses based on international standards.

full time

The primary goal the master program is not training students for an academic career, but educating economic analysts who are able to apply their strong theoretical knowledge to analyze problems relevant for decision makers. Graduates have to be able to work together with experts of other disciplines and to present their results to the stakeholders in an easily understandable way. One of the strengths of the program is that it follows international standards. External experts were involved in developing the curriculum and teaching materials.

The master programme offers multi-disciplinary expertise and a problem oriented approach enabling graduates to understand the complexities of health care systems and perform tasks in health system analysis, planning, financing and management. The unique feature of the program is its focus on the evaluation of health technologies. This requires quantitative skills in epidemiology, biostatistics, economic modelling as well as understanding how value judgement can play a role in policy decisions, such as prcing and reimbursement of health technologies.
