INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS MULTIDISCIPLINARY DOCTORAL SCHOOL AT CORVINUS UNIVERSITY OF BUDAPEST
The PhD Council of Social Studies of Corvinus University of Budapest is in charge of the trainingDiscipline of science: Social SciencesBranch of science: economics, political science
Subprograms:
Language of the program: English – Hungarian
Name of the doctoral degree obtained: PhD in Economics, PhD in Political Science
The Doctoral School is based on the following MA/MSc programs:HERMES is a strategic alliance of 26 leading education institutions in 15 countries. Its ambition is to offer dual degree programs in Management on all academic levels.
The HERMES network was founded in November 1997 as an initiative of the Ecole de Management Strasbourg (former IECS) of the Robert Schuman University in Strasbourg. Three years later, on March 31st, 2000, the HERMES Charter was voted on by the General Assembly in a ceremony at the European Parliament.
The participating universities work closely together in defining their study programs, exchanging professors and organizing joint research projects. Each year, this network holds an Annual Conference at one of the partner universities, where common programs are defined and achievements are reported.
More information please find on the webpage of Hermes network.
Meeting of Hermes network in Budapest
On 8th June 2018, the HERMES Network held its 20th annual meeting in Budapest, organized by the Corvinus University of Budapest.
The HERMES Network aims to bolster international mobility and Double Degrees among member institutions. At the Budapest meeting, a new chairman had to be elected for the academic year 2018-20: Claudia Tarantola from the University of Pavia was unanimously voted in. The annual meeting continued with the presentation of two new candidates for the HERMES network: The University of Western Australia and the University of Innsbruck. Both Universities were voted in unanimously.
In addition, new forms of cooperation were also presented: Dean Prastakos presented the Stevens Institute of Technology and possible forms of cooperation (DD) in the field of “Business Intelligence;” Jeremie Kreitz from FTI Paris then outlined a job profile for Business Intelligence, which could lead to a joint degree; Ludwig Kreitz, Secretary General, briefly introduced an additional form of cooperation: the “Global Network for Advanced Management.” This consortium, created by the “Yale School of Management,” has some resemblance with HERMES, offering seminars (“Global Network Weeks”) which could easily be adapted to the HERMES network model; Hans Tuemmers proposed the project of the “Global Executive MBA” – a project where partners could easily cooperate by offering short-term courses in their respective universities and Istvan Kollai from Corvinus University explained the auto guide “Peripatos,” an educational audio guide for smartphones which makes outdoor seminars possible. Lastly, Anna Dylag and Piotr Jydanek, the colleagues from the Jagiellonian University, discussed the results of the questionnaire concerning Double Degrees.
The next annual meeting will be held at the University of Innsbruck.
The pictures of the Budapest annual meeting can be found on the Facebook page of the Institute of World Economy.
The SCRIBE21 cluster aims at creating new partnerships between European (French, Hungarian, Italian) and Australian universities.
Hajnalka Zsila – “I’m confident that it’s one of the greatest opportunities offered for students studying International Business and Economy at Corvinus University of Budapest.”
Julian Roper – “An adventure designed to explore the affinity between knowledge, understanding and community.
What is SCRIBE21?
The Institute of World Economy of the Corvinus University of Budapest has successfully participated in the European Commission’s EACEA 44/2012 call and won the project entitled: Creating Sustainable Innovative Competitive Advantages in International Business for EU-Australasia in the 21st century.
What is its structure?
Students complete their first year in their university of origin and their second year abroad, in Australia for the Europeans and vice-versa. European and Australian students respectively benefit from a specialisation in management and business from an Australasian and European perspective.
All students selected as part of the consortium are awarded a master’s degree by their university of origin and the partner university at the end of their course. The programme began in January 2014 and will ultimately be open to up to 80 students from the five universities.
Master students can be trained in major international management issues as part of an integrated and mobile multidisciplinary course between the partner universities. They acquire, via specialisations, knowledge of international management rooted in diversified cultural and economic contexts. They get theoretical and practical training in intercultural management and complete a work placement of at least three months in Europe or Australia. By the end of their studies, students write their own thesis work.
Emphasis is placed on several economic sectors, with a specialisation relating to the strengths of each region where partner universities are located (wine, food, hospitality, business, economics, mining resources). The programme also focuses on entrepreneurship, diversity, and ethics within an international context and to integrate sustainable development issues.
To avoid additional costs for the students, enrollment fees will be payable to their university of origin only.

“This new Double Degree Programme between European and Australian higher education institutions provides an excellent opportunity both for students and members of the academia to exchange knowledge and build linkages between the two continents. Furthermore, not only would students gain advanced knowledge in sustainable business practices, but by studying on different continents they would gain firsthand experience on how business is being conducted in different parts of the world.”
