The list of documents may vary by faculty, but you will receive accurate information in an official notice following successful admission. In addition to your identity documents (ID card, address card and tax ID), you will certainly need your school certificates (secondary school leaving certificate or, in the case of a master's degree, diploma) and their copies.
Once you have been admitted, you will receive an e-mail and a letter about the exact place and time of enrolment, which will take place during the registration week prior to the start of the semester. You will become an official student of the university by presenting the required documents in person and completing some forms; however, if you are unable to come in on the given day, you can authorise someone to proceed on your behalf by signing an official document downloaded from the website.
If you fail to qualify for the first free position but you have been admitted to Corvinus, you will be eligible to apply for the Corvinus Scholarship again in the subsequent year within the framework of reclassification, based on your academic performance. Those who are not eligible for free education can apply for state-funded, interest-free pre-financing through the Student Loan Centre.
Yes, and we look forward to seeing you there. During the Faculty Open Days you can ask your questions, meet our instructors, and get a taste of Corvinus.
In addition to individual learning, we strongly encourage you to take part in the preparatory courses organised by your own school or BCE.

From 2020 the admission rules will be stricter: admission will be subject to a minimum of B2, i.e., intermediate level language exam, and an advanced level secondary school leaving certificate in at least one subject.
So, there will be no extra points next year if a student has an advanced level secondary school leaving certificate in a subject. The 50 extra points are awarded for the second advanced examination, but only if the subject is compulsory or optional. Another pre-requisite for the extra points is that at least 45 percent of the exam requirements are met.
If you wish to apply for the Corvinus Scholarship, mark "A" form of financing when filling in the 2020 application form. If you reach the score defined by the university for this form of funding during the admission procedure, you will automatically become eligible for the scholarship.
If you plan to apply for a self-financed programme, choose the "K" form of financing.
Once in each academic year the University reviews the eligibility criteria for the scholarship based on the performance of the last two active semesters in which you did not participate in an Erasmus+ funded foreign exchange programme or internship.
The reviewers look at your annual academic results (at least 3.8 average is required), the number of credits you have obtained (minimum 46 credits), and your academic and student organisation activities. A student ranking order is established for each programme, so the best students are granted scholarship for the next two semesters.
It is a performance-based scholarship, similar in many aspects to the state-funded form of education known to date as it includes the cost of the training, but does not cover, e.g., foreign language contributions, housing and subsistence costs during the studies. The main difference is that it is not provided automatically until the studies are completed. The leadership of the university defines the requirements: the number of credits are required and the academic results required from the scholarship students.
