Note: Decision has been made recently that for the upcoming Spring Semester 2023 we still accept language exams issued by the student’s home university which proves that the student’s English language knowledge equals to the requirements listed above.

The language exam must be valid at the time when the semester’s program starts which is in the case 30 January 2023.

Application deadline for every Fall semester is: May 1st

Application deadline for every Spring semester is: Nov 1st

The student’s home university may already have an Erasmus partnership orother agreement with Corvinus University of Budapest. This means that the student can be nominated through the partnership program (e.g:Erasmus) however,they can freely apply as a Free-mover student too. We do not recommend sending in applications via both channels, our free-mover applicants mostly opt for this option as Erasmus places have often limited number of seats available or we do not have an partnerhsip agreement with their home university.

In case the applicant’s home university is in the Unites States please check if the institute has a partnerhsip agreement with Corvinus University aspart of its Study Abroad program.

See the list of our partner institutions below.

Freemover students are responsible for following the regulations of their own home universities with regards to study abroad and credit acceptance. Before committing to a semester at Corvinus, freemovers should first confirm with their home universities that their credits earned at Corvinus will be accepted at their home universities.

All academic and administrative regulations apply to visiting studentswhile they are studying at Corvinus. Please see below.

All students are responsible for arranging for appropriate health and liability insurance during their
studies at Corvinus University of Budapest and their stay in Hungary. Corvinus University of Budapest is
not and shall not be in any way liable for any costs arising from a student’s illnesses, accidents, property
damage/loss, etc.


Health insurance

Hungarian legal regulations require all students studying in Hungary to have a valid health insurance
policy. In general, health insurance policies usually cover only emergency medical care (please read the
small-print!). If a student has any chronic illnesses, the student must make additional arrangements as
the usual short-term health insurance policy will not cover costs related to such illnesses. If a student has
a long-term or chronic illness, he or she must arrange – prior to arrival – an appropriate private health
insurance valid in Hungary.
Most EEA students can get the European Health Card which is also valid for use in Hungary. For details
on what it covers and how any arising costs are to be paid, please check with your own Health Care
authorities.
Students who do not have a health insurance policy upon arrival to Hungary can make arrangements for
a health insurance policy covering emergency medical care through the ISP Office.


Liability insurance

Students will be legally and financially responsible for any accidents, injuries, or damages caused by them
to someone else or someone else’s property, and hence shall be fully responsible for bearing any and all
arising costs and duties. It is recommended that all students have a valid liability insurance during their
stay in Hungary.

Non-degree students receive the temporary student ID paper for their time at Corvinus during the Orientation week.You must renew it at your coordinator’s office as it is only valid for 60 days. It is the students responsibility to renew the ID card at the due date.
