Get Ready for the 2026 Corvinus Doctoral Admissions

Why should you start preparing now?
A successful doctoral admission is not based on luck, but on conscious planning. Although the application portal only opens on February 23, you should start working on the most important milestones today:
- Fine-tuning your Research Proposal: This is the “heart” of your application. Whether it’s business, economics, or social sciences, crafting a strong research plan of 10,000 – 20,000 characters is a time-consuming process. Start gathering your materials today.
- Sharpening your Cognitive Skills: A key change this year is that the cognitive test is now mandatory for all four doctoral schools. Don’t leave your preparation until the last minute.
- Finding a Mentor: Get to know our professors and their research areas. Choosing the right supervisor is already half the success.
