Summary/Abstract: The dropout rate is nearly 40% in the Hungarian higher education which is the highest in doctoral education according to the level of education. In our research, we investigated the patterns of dropout among PhD students enrolled in the autumn semesters of the school years 2010/2011 and 2014/2015. We also explored whether the number of enrolled credits, the passive status, the field of study, the training institution and funding influence the phenomenon of dropout. Our results come gained the Higher Educational Informational System show that PhD students should be taken into regard from the enrolment as the first and second semesters are the most critical periods regarding dropout like any other level of education.
