Educational sciences show the most dynamic progress among social sciences, primarily because knowledge has become the dominant factor of economic competitiveness and social development in recent decades, in a process in which the reproduction of knowledge attracts growing attention. In the most advanced regions of the world, resources, infrastructure and human capital allocated for research on learning and instruction are increasing. The dynamic progress creates a need for experts in research on learning and instruction in Europe as well.

Mathematical education and research at the Bolyai (Mathematical) Institute of the University goes back to Frigyes Riesz and Alfréd Haar, 1921. These two world famous masters of mathematical analysis founded “Acta Scientiarum Mathematicarum (Szeged)” in 1922, the first mathematical journal in foreign language in Hungary. The “Acta” played and continues to play a crucial role in the circumstance that the Library of Bolyai Institute offers more than 250 current mathematical journals, almost 20 thousand books and more than 20 thousand volumes of journals to professors, researchers and students. Today the Bolyai Institute consists of six chairs: Algebra and Number Theory, Analysis, Applied and Numerical Mathematics, Geometry, Set Theory and Mathematical Logic, Stochastics. The Institute has 50 academic staff members with a wide range of research interests.
The doctoral education in the Bolyai Institute started in 1993. Between 2002 and 2008, the School consisted of two educational programmes: mathematics and informatics. The school reached its present form in 2009.
