On 1 September 2025, the School of Linguistics merged with the School of Literary and Cultural Studies; the new unit continues as the School of Linguistics, Literary and Cultural Studies.
DSLLCS offers full-time PhD training (state-subsidised and self-financed), as well as part-time training with individual preparation; we also welcome students under the aegis of the Stipendium Hungaricum scholarship scheme, in two disciplinary fields within the humanities
Areas of research: British, North American, French, Dutch, Hungarian, German, Italian, Russian literature and culture; media studies; linguistics.
DSLLCS is authorised to undertake doctoral training and confer PhD degrees in the humanities, more precisely, within the disciplinary areas of literary and cultural studies, as well as linguistics. The School is further authorised to oversee the nostrification of degrees obtained abroad in the same academic field, provided the requirements of obtaining such a degree in the country in question are either fully equivalent to the criteria in Hungary or can be made equivalent through the implementation of supplementary criteria.
