Simplified admissions process for Corvinus Masters programmes

Entrance examination 

This year, successful admission requires passing a written and (in some programmes) an oral entrance exam. There is a maximum of 100 points to be achieved.  

• The written examination is worth 60 points.  

• If there is an oral examination, you can earn 30 points.  

• If there is no oral examination, your result from your written examination will be converted to 90 points. We simply multiply your score by 1.5. 

Under certain circumstances, it is possible to earn 10 extra points.  

The written entrance exam 

Most of your admission scores will therefore come from your written examination.  

• For the majority of study programmes, it measures quantitative and qualitative analytical skills, reasoning and data interpretation, as well as language skills. (Type „A”) 

• For humanities only (International Relations, Media and Communication), it measures reasoning, data interpretation, and language skills. (Type „B”) 

A sample exam will be published soon on our website.  You will also be able to apply for a preparatory course in early 2025.The preparatory course will be held in February. 

The written examination can be waived in the following circumstances: 

• If you have a diploma graded at least good/B (ECTS) issued by a university with an international AACSB or EQUIS accreditation or by a CEMS member university, for example a Corvinus diploma, you can use that to replace the written entrance exam.      

• If you have a diploma with a good (4) grade, you will get 50 points for the written exam  

• If you have a diploma with an excellent (5) grade, you will get 60 points for the written exam 

• Results from a recognised international test will also be accepted, if minimum scores have been achieved: at least 500 on GMAT, 300 on GRE, 150 on NMAT or 485 on GMAT FE. Please note that as these are minimum scores, you may need to achieve more points to be admitted.    

Tip: if you are unsure as to whether you can succeed at the entrance exam, you should consider taking one of the tests listed above in early 2025. You can then decide whether to use your scores from the test to replace the written exam, depending on your results.  

Oral entrance exam 

The oral interviews will be held online. They usually last 10-15 minutes. Depending on the programme, the interview committee may assess either your motivation or your professional skills. Details will be published soon on our website. 

Extra points 

If you are an international student and choose to replace the written exam with an international exam (GMAT, GMAT FE, GRE, NMAT) and submit your results before 2025 April, you will receive an additional 10 points. 

Under the central admission procedure (felvi.hu), applicants can get some points up to 10 for equal opportunities, special study or sport achievements. 

Credit recognition procedure  

Before you apply, please make sure to check whether in your bachelor’s degree you have acquired the necessary preliminary subject knowledge which you will need for entry for your chosen Master programme. Details of the credit recognition procedure will be available soon on our website.
