Preparatory Program

The complex Preparatory Program of Corvinus University of Budapest prepares participants, future students of Corvinus University for admission and high performance expected in academic programs offered by the University.

At the same time as the language examination requirements are abolished, the University introduces a zero-credit criterion course called “Foreign language competence”, without the completion of which the student cannot obtain a diploma and cannot be admitted to the final examination. This criterion does not involve language training, but the assessment of language skills during the examination period. Completion of this criterion may be replaced by, among other things: an accredited language examination at level B2 or above, at least six months of study abroad in the language concerned, at least four weeks of work experience abroad in which the language was used as a working language, etc. The language criterion is regulated by the SER.
