cognitive PhD call

Call for cognitive psychology PhD applicants The Department of General Psychology at Eotvos University calls for applicants for a three year long PhD program on cognitive psychology with a strong emphasis on cognitive studies at large. This is the third year of the program.

The program involves organized classes (with exams), participation in research (beside the individual research), and teaching activities. PhD students will have a student status and those who do not have a scholarship or a job can obtain some sufinancial support. The language of instruction will be English partly to accomodate our foreign host teachers, partly because we are encouraging our students to apply for scholarships abroad, too.
