How to improve your problem-solving abilities and critical thinking? It includes studying a wide variety of concepts, participating in major group projects and presentations – making you the perfect asset to any company, public or private organisation.
Upon graduation, you will be able to examine the underlying incentives of social phenomena to try to extract meaning from data, to making models and forecasts and then find the explanation to major issues.

“I’m in my very first year of Corvinus’ Applied Economics BA programme and I am truly loving it so far! I feel like I am being challenged to become an even better student through my academic work.
The modules are engaging and deliver crucial knowledge and skills, without rushing through the material. The programme aids improving your problem-solving skills, which I believe is essential for any economist.
My favourite part about Corvinus is all of the international students I have met and made friends with from all over the world! ”
