Péter became an International Relations Expert (MA, Human Rights Specialisation) in 2012 and a Sociologist (PhD, Interdisciplinary Social Research Program) in 2020 at Eötvös Loránd University, Hungary.

He has published a number of articles in academic journals and is the author of two books on national minority representation (in Hungarian, published by ELTE Eötvös Kiadó) and an editor of the Hungarian human rights quarterly, Fundamentum.
