Advantages of our one-year master programmes

*The curricula of three of the four new study programmes are based on our already well-known programmes. Advanced Supply Chain Management is the one-year alternative of Supply Chain Management, Public Governance is the one-year version of Public Policy and Management, and Marketing Strategy and Innovation is the one-year equivalent of the Marketing programme.

The curricula of the four new one-year programmes are structured in a way that we focus on the second academic year from the material of the two-year version.

You can apply directly to the one-year programs without having to go through, or pay for, the validation procedure.

Corvinus University is the only place in Hungary where you can study these new programmes!

How can you validate your credits?

Any prior knowledge you have acquired that is relevant to the programme can be validated. This could be work experience, a college for advanced studies course, online course, TDK research or previously completed credits at another university.

Useful tips for validating

If you’re studying at Corvinus, your Corvinus courses will be accepted during the procedure, so as a bachelor student, you may want to take extra subjects in the autumn and spring semesters. As a bachelor student, you can take 10% more credits than the required number for free.
