Corvinus is one of Hungary’s top universities, and it has many outstanding academics that are passionate about their work. I feel continually stretched and surrounded by sharp minds. As a first-year student at Corvinus, I’ve observed both good and bad things about our study process. There are more than 50 active student clubs and organizations to select from, and student life is also fantastic.

but aesthetics aren’t all what matters , as a first year international relations student at corvinus, I have noticed both positive and negative aspects in our study progeamme and in the university itself
When it comes to my programme, the choice of subjects is rather peculiar , mixing too many disciplines all at once without going in depth in any of them . Which makes them sound like random fillers
The teachers are overall okey , except for some seminar teachers who are also students , and who provide an overall below average level of education and seriousness
With that said , I still find education here to be enjoyable , with all the varities of elective subjects you can choose from , and the new soft skills acquired , as well as the relaxed studying schedules which allow you to join one of the many interesting social clubs the university has to offer
I can see great potential in this university, as a matter of fact , improvement can be noticed on a daily basis , the administration is progressing , the uni is introducing new programmes and teaching methods which will certainly benefit both its reputation and the students who take classes in it
Overall , I would consider it an above average university
Previously studying in the USA, moving to Budapest was a complete culture shock. However, this university offers a vigorous program with ample opportunities for students who want a career in diplomacy and foreign affairs. I feel constantly challenged and surrounded by bright-minded thinkers. Throwing myself into a new country, new culture, and new language has allowed me to truly be immersed in this field of study. While the program is in English, there are ample opportunities for additional foreign language classes. The fact that this university offers scholarships and the base price of tuition is already so low, is an added bonus.
