With the unanimous support of all QTEM member institutions, Corvinus University of Budapest has officially become a part of the international higher education alliance as of October 2024. This elite network brings together top universities, high-achieving students, and major international companies from around the world. Corvinus will soon begin recruiting outstanding students for the program.

Corvinus is now the only Hungarian university in this exclusive alliance, which includes distinguished institutions such as HEC Lausanne in Switzerland, Waseda University in Japan, the University of Amsterdam (UVA), and the Technical University of Munich (TUM). During the annual QTEM assembly held in Rabat, Morocco, on October 25-26, the entire academic partner network enthusiastically and unanimously welcomed Corvinus into the fold. 

The primary mission of the QTEM network is to empower selected students from partner universities by developing both their quantitative and leadership skills. QTEM stands for Quantitative Techniques for Economics and Management. Students can participate in QTEM at no additional cost from their own degree. 

Speaking at the QTEM General Assembly at Rabat Business School, Bruno van Pottelsberghe, Rector of Corvinus and initiator of QTEM, expressed his pride in this new partnership:

It is an honour for Corvinus to join the QTEM network. This university fully shares QTEM’s core values, and the partnership offers an outstanding opportunity for Corvinus to further internationalization, academic collaboration, and cultural exchange for our students. It will also elevate their analytical and interpersonal skills to new heights.

Students accepted into the QTEM program will spend one or two semesters at partner universities abroad. They will receive specialized training in data science and digital leadership, and participate in corporate workshops with global giants like Amazon and Milenium Bank. Additionally, they can compete in the QTEM Data Challenge, tackling real-world datasets from companies such as Cartier, Keyrock, and Engie, honing their skills in data analysis, problem-solving, and teamwork—capabilities highly sought after by employers worldwide. The exchange is reciprocal, and Corvinus will host talented students from excellent universities for a semester in Budapest. 

Corvinus invites applications for the 2025 exchange programme until the beginning of January. The university also offers a range of other international training opportunities, including membership of the world’s elite business education network, CEMS, and a wide range of dual degree programmes from KEDGE to Porto University.
