The Analytic Philosophy Ph.D. Program is part of the Philosophy Doctoral School at Eötvös Loránd University (ELTE), Budapest. We offer courses and dissertation supervision in most areas of analytic philosophy.

The Analytic Philosophy Program is open to both Hungarian and foreign students who hold an MA degree (or equivalent) in philosophy. Most courses offered in the program are available in English, with discussion groups, seminar sessions, consultations and exams held in English (except if all participants speak Hungarian).

The Analytic Philosophy Program operates in cooperation with other Ph.D. programs in Philosophy at ELTE, especially with the program in Logic and Philosophy of Science. There is coordination and several points of connection between the two programs in the areas covered, courses offered, student supervision, and program requirements.

The head of the Analytic Philosophy Program is Zsófia Zvolenszky.
