From gedematyas at inf.elte.hu Thu Sep 17 15:04:29 2026 From: gedematyas at inf.elte.hu (Gede Matyas) Date: Thu, 17 Sep 2026 13:04:29 +0000 Subject: [Phd] Courses taken from other doctoral schools Message-ID: (Only for students at the Earth Sciences Doctoral School) Dear Students, I've seen that some of you had taken courses not only from the offers of the Earth Sciences Doctoral School but also from the DS of Informatics. The credits of these courses will not be automatically taken into account at the end of your studies; I need to have them approved by the council of the Earth Sciences DS. To help this, please write me the list of such courses you've taken (course code, course name, credits), together with the semester when they were taken, and a one-sentence explanation for each course, why it is relevant for your topic. After receiving these responses, I'll start the approval process.

Owusu-Acheampong) Date: Fri, 18 Sep 2026 00:35:26 +0200 Subject: [Phd] Courses taken from other doctoral schools In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Dear Dr. Gede, Thank you for your email and for the clarification regarding courses taken outside the course offerings of the Earth Sciences Doctoral School. I would like to provide the information regarding the courses I have registered for and explain their relevance to my PhD research. At present, I have registered for the following courses: 1. Guided Research, FÖL/K25, 25 credits Although the course appears as optional in Neptun, guided research is a required component of our PhD studies, with students expected to complete guided research each semester. I have therefore registered for 25 credits this semester, having completed guided research credits during the previous semesters as well. 2. Remote Sensing Sensors, FÖL/3/41, 6 credits This course is directly relevant to my PhD research because I work extensively with remotely sensed data, including Digital Elevation Models (DEMs), NDVI and other remote sensing-derived datasets, which form part of the data used in my geodiversity and environmental analyses. 3. Thematic Cartography, FÖL/3/002E I registered for this course because producing high-quality thematic maps is an important part of my PhD research. I believe the practical knowledge and experience gained from the course will be particularly useful for developing and presenting the maps required for my research and publications. I had also initially registered for Map Projections, but I have since dropped the course after considering my current course load and its relevance to my research. My understanding was that these courses could be useful for strengthening the technical and practical skills required for my PhD research, even though they may not be among the regular offerings of the Earth Sciences Doctoral School. I would also like to mention that I am currently not fully aware of which compulsory courses I am expected to complete during this stage of my PhD. When I checked the course registration options in Neptun, I could not identify any courses specifically marked as compulsory for my programme this semester. I also previously contacted my supervisor to ask whether there were particular compulsory courses I needed to register for, but he was not aware of any specific courses either. I would therefore be very grateful if you could kindly advise me on which courses are compulsory throughout my PhD studies, particularly those that I should be taking at this stage. This would help me plan my remaining semesters properly and ensure that I complete all the necessary requirements. Regarding the courses listed above, I am, of course, happy to adjust my registrations if any of them are not eligible for credit recognition or if you recommend that I take different courses offered by the Earth Sciences Doctoral School. Thank you very much for your guidance and support. I would greatly appreciate any clarification you can provide regarding both the approval of these courses and the compulsory course requirements for my PhD. Kind regards, E. K. B.
