The list of documents required is available at Doctoral Council of Natural Sciences and Information Technology (https://ttdt.unideb.hu/en/downloadable-documents) site.
(minimum requirements for PhD degree)
Placing publications in an electronic repository
Doctoral candidates must upload their publications to the DEENK publication database. On the basis of the publications uploaded into the database, the Library prepares and validates the candidate's publication list, the candidate submits the validated list together with the thesis to the Doctoral Council of the discipline (§ 15 (1)). The minimum publication output expected from doctoral candidates is set out in Annex 6 of the University Doctoral Regulations for each discipline.
In the amendment of the University Doctoral Regulations of 15 May 2014, a provision was added to paragraph (1) of Article 15 regarding the documentation of the independent scientific work of doctoral candidates, which stipulates that the University and National Library shall prepare and certify the publication list of the doctoral candidate based on the publications uploaded to the university publication database. In future, candidates will also have to include their publication list in their doctoral theses in a form certified by the library.

8th semester 2nd month: proof of the last semester's research work, application for Absolutorium

The above timetable includes some buffer time to deal with any problems, so short delays should not be a problem for the execution.
Students can apply for a further one-year extension after the end of the 4 years, during which time their student status is no longer valid, but they can keep the defence.
The necessary form and cheque will be provided by the designated Doctoral Council of Natural Sciences and Information Technology administrator.
Upon receipt of the invitation to the Committee, the Committee member shall declare in writing any conflict of interest.
