One-year Talent Programmes
This programme offers and provides extracurricular work for talented students. This extracurricular work is helped by a tutor, so students can have the opportunity to be helped, encouraged and looked after by an instructor of the Institute.
A. INDIVIDUAL PROGRAMME
Students can propose a theme for a one-year research project. The proposal should include a letter of motivation, and a research plan written up with the help of the tutor. Meetings with the tutor should take place not less frequently than every third week. Candidates who aim at the OTDK competition have an advantage. Two students (a BA and an MA student) per year will be selected as winners. Results of the research should materialize in a 2000-word long report on what has been achieved, presented during the spring department eve.
Deadline for applications: Mon 3 Sept 2018.
Applications are to be sent electronically to Zsolt Almási (almasi.zsolt@btk.ppke.hu).
Winners to be informed by 10 Sept 2018.
