MBA

Corvinus University of Budapest provides a diverse selection of MBA courses for those who want to deepen and extend their knowledge. As an AMBA accredited institution, CEMS member and a top 300 university in the world for Business (QS subject rankings 2021), our MBAs are of outstanding academic quality and financial value.

We offer two MBA options, both of which are taught in English. Be aware that you have to meet certain work experience requirements to be eligible to apply for an MBA. Please consider applying for one of our Graduate programmes in Business if you do not meet those requirements.

Our Full-time MBA is well suited to professionals who meet the work experience requirements and are ready to invest significant time into upgrading their business and management skills. Our students attend classes in business hours 3-4 days per week, so they typically take a short career break or work part-time (in Budapest or remotely) whilst studying this programme. They get a comprehensive, transformational experience as a result of their efforts.

For more senior professionals with more than 5 years of work experience, we offer Corvinus-MSM-Maastricht University Executive MBA. The program is taught intensively over the course of one teaching weekend typically each month. Students usually stay employed while studying. If you are an international student, you can even stay in your home country and only travel to Budapest once a month. This MBA program covers traditional areas of strategic-level business.
