Corvinus University

"A humanist institution that brings together several disciplines from social sciences to natural sciences"

Although Corvinus University of Budapest has recently been given its name, it is an all the more significant institution in Hungarian higher education due to its traditions and the results it has achieved in education and research.

As a result of an integration process going on during the past few years, the Budapest University of Economic Sciences and the College of Public Administration merged in 2000. The faculties of the former University of Horticulture and Food Industry, the traditions of which go back to one and a half centuries, joined the institution in September 2003. The Academic Year Opening Ceremony in 2004 was also a name-giving ceremony. The name "Corvinus University of Budapest" reflects a humanist institution that brings together several disciplines from social sciences to natural sciences. It willingly undertakes the human, science and culture-centred traditions and values appropriate to a university. Recalling the world of Renaissance, it focuses on refinement, richness in detail, variegation and creating value.

Corvinus University of Budapest - an institution that practises and cultivates this cultural openness - warmly welcomes you whether you are a student, a teacher or a visitor. Corvinus University - functioning as a real 'universitas' - hosts more than 17,000 students at its 7 faculties. Students can obtain degrees at undergraduate, graduate, postgraduate and PhD level in countless specialisation taught in Hungarian, English, French or German, qualifying them for employment in a wide variety of fields.

It is Hungary's highest ranking institution attracting international students interested in business and economics: be it from the students' point of view or the academic and business community perspective. The University provides a two-level ('Bologna-type') system of education. The English-language, credit-based Bachelor's and Master's programmes are accepted all over the world.
