The study requirements and the order of administration are coordinated by the regulations of the Doctoral School of Physics at the University of Pecs in accordance with the university regulations. The regulation's brief summary can be found below:

1. The doctoral program has eight semesters.
2. The doctoral program takes place in two stages:
   • Stage 1: "Training and research phase" for 4 semesters.
   • Stage 2: "Research and dissertation phase", which has additional 4 semesters.
3. The amount of credits to be obtained during doctoral studies in the two stages of the program are: 120+120=240 credits.
4. The credits can be obtained for various forms of activity:
   • participation in training ("study credits"),
   • teaching,
   • research,
   • analysing literature,
   • publication of research results,
   • brief written summary of the student’s progress.
5. Mandatory courses in the doctoral program:
