103 New Students Testify to Corvinus Doctoral Program’s Extreme Popularity
Following an outstandingly successful communication campaign and recruitment process through which we learnt about the talents of many promising applicants, in September 2021, 103 first-year doctoral students will begin their studies at Corvinus Doctoral Schools.
Out of the 103 newly admitted doctoral students, 77 were enrolled in the so-called academic track and 26 in the so-called expert track. Thanks to the Ministry of Innovation and Technology, 64 Hungarian state scholarship holders were able to enter the doctoral program, 26 of whom also won the Corvinus Doctoral Scholarship, so they receive twice the amount of the Hungarian state scholarship in the first year of their studies and, if they perform well, they will receive priority support throughout their training. Among the first-year doctoral students, 24 foreign citizens can study at Corvinus thanks to the Stipendium Hungaricum Scholarship Program.
