Learning outcomes
A series of lectures devoted to the current research work of the individual lecturers on their chosen topics. Lecturers are both supervisors and members of the subject area board, and invited scholars, with whom their expert topic is discussed in advance so that it contributes to the enhancement of the professional methodological approaches of the doctoral students. Based on the possibilities, the lectures by foreign researchers are included in the programme, usually 1-2 lectures per semester. Lectures are never a review, but have to be new research articles by the lecturers. The cycle is considered a very beneficial part of the doctoral studies, in addition to the scholarly work on the part of the doctoral students.
Knowledge of a large scale of actual research papers and methods.
