For students with a B.Sc. degree the minimum duration of the M.Sc. programme is four semesters. However, according to our experience, six semesters are normally needed to get the M.Sc. degree because the applicants’ prior B.Sc. studies are different in both their curriculum and level from those found at Eötvös Loránd University (see the “Curriculum of B.Sc. program”) making it necessary to complete a two-semester catch-up programme. The curriculum of this two-semester programme depends on the chosen M.Sc. Programme Specialisation as well as on the applicant’s prior studies and knowledge in the chosen special field.
The curriculum is assembled from intensive advanced level courses on the theoretical aspects of selected disciplines and special seminar series on problems in a narrower field of science. The programme also involves practical courses and a supervised research activity which is needed for the preparation of the M.Sc. Thesis. Four programme specialisations are possible, with several sub-specialisations within each (see the M.Sc. Programme Specialisations and their Curriculum). Students enrol in one of these according to their interest. With choosing a Programme Specialisation, students also choose the field in which they will make their M.Sc. thesis work. In order to complete the programme, students must collect a total of 108 credits for courses with examinations, for practical training (if they receive for these at least a passing grade - for the credit system and grading see the System of evaluation of students´ performance), and for the thesis work. During their programme, students have to earn 48 credits for compulsory and optional courses of the appropriate Programme Specialisation as well as for freely chosen courses and seminar series including those of other Programme Specialisations. Further 60 credits have to be earned for the M.Sc. thesis work. For the available courses and their credit values see the M.Sc. Programme Specialisations and their Curriculum.
Note: The curriculum of a Programme (sub-) Specialisation might be supplemented by a curriculum of a catch-up programme which is assembled according to the special needs of the student.

The successful applicant must have a B.Sc. degree in Biology and a good command of English. The applicant is interviewed during the application and admission procedure to elucidate the level of prior knowledge and to decide about the possible Programme Specialisation, which is chosen according to the applicant’s preference and the opinion of the interviewing professors. The interview can partially be carried out by distant methods such as electronic media and postal service. The final decision on the Programme Specialisation, tutor, thesis work, and other details is, however, made after a personal meeting and discussion with the applicant.
