Corvinus University’s English language courses are immensely popular in Hungary!
In total, more than 2,000 students applied for Corvinus University’s English language courses in the first place in this year’s admission procedure. The number of applicants for English language courses has thus increased by almost 50 percent. Courses offered exclusively at Corvinus for the first time this year are also popular, with an overall increase in the number of applicants at Corvinus.
The quality of education offered by Corvinus University of Budapest is attracting more applicants this year than last, according to figures released by the Educational Authority. The most popular course is the Bachelor of Business and Management, with nearly 30 percent more applicants for the English-language version of the course than last year. International Management, which can be studied in English, is the second most popular field, with 11 percent more applicants than in 2022. The popularity of the English-language Bachelor of International Studies has also grown significantly, with a 20 percent increase in the number of students applying to study this course.
The university’s two new English-language Bachelor’s programmes, which are available in Hungary only at Corvinus, were also well received: hundreds of applications were received for the Philosophy, Politics and Economics degree and the Business Data Science degree.
“The numbers show that there is a receptiveness among applicants to the key objectives we set out when we changed the university model, including internationalisation and a high-quality training portfolio. I am delighted that Corvinus is able to offer talented students a constantly renewed, high-quality choice. We are focusing on quality rather than quantity in our training, in an international environment, with small group teaching,” said Anthony Radev, President of Corvinus, commenting on the application figures.

Among the Corvinus Master’s programmes, the Management and Organisation programme remains the most popular, with a 35 percent increase in applications for the English-language programme. Corvinus is launching several new one-year English-language Master’s programmes this year, the most popular being Marketing Strategy and Innovation.
“Two thirds of our training is now in English. This year, 50 percent more people chose these courses as their first choice than last year, reflecting the strong demand for access to opportunities at universities abroad. We were among the first Hungarian universities to make our Master‘s degree programmes more flexible to meet the needs of the labour market: we offer four one-year courses and four two-year courses that can be completed in one year. The number of applications proves the justification of the new structure,” emphasised ElÅ‘d Takáts, Rector of Corvinus.
The strategic goal of Corvinus is to become the leading university in the field of economic and social sciences in the Eastern and Central European region by 2030. To achieve this, more and more English-language courses are being launched every year, internationally renowned lecturers are being recruited and research and publication output is being significantly increased.

Personally, this recommendation or advice I can “pass on” – share with the utmost of assurance, that it will IMPROVE, the English verbal & written ability – comprehension and word usage of English, to Hungarians, who WISH to include, on there CV”s – they speak, read and write with competency and understand English.
READ,READ and READ – books of any description – written in English.
Read – the greatest, simplest and effective, if the foundations have been laid in the English language – correctly at junior school, in particular, and I believe Hungary – NEEDS to up-grade drastically there English language curriculums/programmes – way and style of teaching English, the true EDUCATOR becomes – the books literature that you read in English.
READ – read and READ – it it is a PROVEN recommendation, in the learning interpretation of a Foreign language.
Challenge your-self and be not afraid to have a Concise Oxford Dictionary as part of your satchel or whatever.
Read a Concise English Dictionary – open pages at random – self examine your progress – which is another constructive way – to DEVELOPE your English.
Secondary level Hungarian students – should have English competency that enables them to read and answer questions on this masterful piece titled;
To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee.
The answer – if ever examined on – what is the MESSAGE in this masterful book?
It is ;
Tolerance & Compassion.
