Dear Doctoral Students,

I would like to inform you about the most important tasks and deadlines for the beginning of the
semester:

Registration period: 8am 28 January – 16pm 13 February, 2026 (CET). If you wish to continue your studies in the Spring semester, please activate the 2/2025/2026 semester in Neptun. Those who wish to become passive should set the passive status (for educational administration reasons, it is recommended to take two passive semesters in a row) After two consecutive passive semesters, an active semester must follow; otherwise, the student status may also be terminated. Taking a passive semester is not recommended during the first four semesters.

I draw your attention to the fact that after the 8th active semester, it is no longer possible to activate/passivate the semester, as the student status ceases.

Course Registration: 10am 5 February – 16pm 27 February, 2026 (CET).
The spring semester of the doctoral program officially lasts from 9 February, 2026 to 16 May,2026.

Consultation subjects are also registered by the doctoral student in NEPTUN, no later than the course registration deadline.

All doctoral students are asked to start working with the supervisor(s). It is also advisable to prepare semester work plans together. Work plans should be sent to the Secretariat of the Doctoral School breuer@mik.pte.hu
The form to be used is in the attachment.

Supervisors are responsible for the professional employment of doctoral students. After the start of the study period, supervisors and doctoral students should contact each other to start working. The supervisor's task is to help the compilation of the work plan and before submission to check the work plan. Deadline for the submission of the work plan is the 2nd Doctoral School Day of the semester, this semester 13 March 2026. It should be written in the work plan for which department, in what course, how many hours the doctoral student is teaching.

Good luck for the semester!
