The aim of the School is to provide postgraduate education at the University of Szeged, leading to the degree of PhD in computer science. The School operates within the Institute of Informatics. The research topics actively pursued in the School include theoretical computer science, operations research, combinatorial optimization, software engineering, artificial intelligence, image processing, and electrical and computer engineering.
The overwhelming majority of those who obtained a degree in the Doctoral School are employed either in academia (two-thirds) or in the IT industry (one-third), holding senior research, development, and teaching positions. One-fifth of the graduates work abroad. Regarding academic positions, most remain at the University of Szeged, but institutions such as Aalto University, the Fraunhofer Institute, and the University of Bonn also appear among the workplaces. Industrial employment is diverse (technology, healthcare, telecommunications, automotive, finance), with graduates working at companies including Google, Amazon, GE HealthCare, Ericsson, Continental, Morgan Stanley, and One Hungary.
