Program
The program gives a comprehensive knowledge of several areas in mathematics and introduces the students into doing research in theoretical and/or applied mathematics. Besides purely theoretical courses, many courses are application oriented. Courses are offered in algebra, number theory, real and complex analysis, topology, geometry, probability theory and statistics, discrete mathematics and operations research but also in such interdisciplinary subjects as bioinformatics and theoretical computer science. The students may also choose from high-level application-oriented courses, which present state of the art issues of the given area, like complex systems, financial mathematics etc. The program is aimed at students who have at least a BSc degree in mathematics or a related field (physics, computer science, engineering etc.) In the latter case a certain number (65) of mathematical credits is required from earlier studes.
One of the main features of the program is the great variety of courses, covering several areas of mathematics. Our graduates will have a broad knowledge in many areas of mathematics. Besides offering introduction and basic foundation in many areas, some of the subjects lead to up-to-date research results.
Most of the teachers of the program have international teaching experience and they regularly give classes also at foreign universities, including North American institutions. Young mathematicians, bringing in freshness and new momentum, are also involved in the program. Our instructors all have scientific degrees and good research record. Examples show that graduating from our program is a very good starting point for doctoral or (at a later stage) postdoctoral studies.
Of particular interest is the fact that many researchers in the internationally renowned Hungarian school of combinatorics have started their career at our university and many of them still have position at the Institute of Mathematics. For example the Wolf Prize and Kyoto Prize winner Prof. László Lovász is a professor at our university. Recent Abel prize winner, Prof. Endre Szemerédi is also a graduate of our school. But one could also recall the Ostrowski Prize of Prof. Miklós Laczkovich (professor of our university), the Gödel Prize of Prof. László Babai (former professor), the Coxeter Prize of Prof. Balázs Szegedy (a graduate of our university) etc.
Felépítés
Karrier
Our graduates will be able to apply for Ph.D. studies either at Eötvös Loránd University or anywhere in the world. Many students will, however, continue their career immediately in the industrial research and development, often at high tech industries in telecommunication, financial institutions or insurance companies or in software development of such research giants as Google.

Felvételi
Entry requirements
Bachelor degrees in Mathematics are accepted.
Additionally, Bachelor degrees in the fields of natural science, engineering and computer science can also be accepted, if the applicant has at least 65 ECTS credits in the field of Mathematics.
Language requirements
An internationally accredited language examination is required with at least a B2 CEFR level or equivalent result.
Examples of minimum level accepted:

BSc degree in mathematics or in a related field (physics, computer science, engineering etc.); in the latter case, at least 65 credits in mathematics. Applicants still pursuing their BSc studies should obtain the diploma, or at least a certificate of being entitled to the diploma, before starting their MSc studies
The application starts at the online application system. Students need to register in the system, fill in the online application form, upload the required documents and follow the instructions during the application process.
Procedure of the entrance examination:
The applications are examined by the Admission Board in May/June 2019 and applicants are notified of the outcome of the selection in the online application system within two-three weeks. Admission letters are sent out in the online application system within two weeks after the decision.
Type of entrance examination: oral and written
Place of entrance examination: Applicants can take the exam in their home country, however they must have internet connection during the time of the exam.
A written test will be sent (via e-mail) to the applicant, covering basic fields of mathematics. In a limited amount of time the applicant will have to send back the solutions. A Skype interview may follow.
The ranking is based on a total evaluation of the academic excellence (based on the submitted documents) and the results of the entrance exam.
