The aim of this website is to introduce and give an overview of the PhD programme, and to explain our procedures, rules and regulations. We hope that these pages will serve as future reference, as it should answer most questions about the programme. Let us first introduce the programme briefly:

The PhD Programme in Language Pedagogy (Nyelvpedagógiai Doktori Program) at Eötvös Loránd University (ELTE) was accredited in 1996 and is administered jointly by the Department of English Language Pedagogy (DELP) (earlier called the Centre for English Teacher Training) and the Department of English Applied Linguistics (DEAL) within the School of English and American Studies. It is a programme within the Doctoral School of Education (Neveléstudományi Doktori Iskola, http://nevelestudomany.phd.elte.hu/). Developed with the financial and academic support of the British Council, the programme is intended to cover a range of research areas within language pedagogy and applied linguistics but its purpose is not to provide language teachers with further education in methodology, although the obtained knowledge will naturally have practical implications. The programme is part-time, but precisely because of this, it is hard work. Nevertheless, it is very rewarding, as our students tell us in their course and programme evaluations.

The programme operates under the auspices of the Doctoral Committee of the Faculty of Pedagogy and Psychology as part of the Doctoral School of Education. All administrative procedures are dealt with by the Doctoral Office.
