The Corvinus Doctoral Schools (‘CDI’) is the coordinating body of the four doctoral schools of Corvinus University of Budapest. Founded by the Corvinus Senate in 2017, the primary task of the Corvinus Doctoral Schools is to operate the unified administration of doctoral (PhD) education, monitor quality assurance processes, coordinate innovations for the development of education, and promote the use of synergies between doctoral schools. The Corvinus Doctoral Schools are in close contact with the University Doctoral Council (EDT) and the University Doctoral Office (EDI), and the symbiosis of these three organisations is the key to the effectiveness of doctoral education at Corvinus. The staff of CDI work day in and day out to ensure that as many doctoral students as possible obtain the PhD degree and that they become successful players in the national and international scientific community with their competitive knowledge.

Your data will be recorded by the staff of the University Doctoral Office in the Neptun system. At this stage, they will also check documents relating to previous studies and qualifications (you will need to present the original official documents or provide a certified copy).
After enrolment/registration, you take the courses, compulsory, compulsorily elective and optional courses for the semester in question, according to the program of studies, via Neptun. The secretarial assistants of the doctoral schools can help you with this if you need it.
Your supervisor will play a key role in your studies during the doctoral program. In the majority of doctoral schools, the person of the supervisor (mentor) is outlined during the admission process, but the person is finalised by the Doctoral School Council. It is advisable to seek to develop an intensive relationship with your supervisor from the beginning of your training.
To access communication and online databases (Neptun, Moodle, library), it is essential to obtain a Cusman code and password. Doctoral students can also request an email in the format name@uni-corvinus.hu. The University’s Doctoral Office registers the students in the doktori.hu database, but in the MTMT (Hungarian Database of Scientific Works) each student must register individually. Information on how to use MTMT is available from the librarians.
The Doctoral Students’ Association (DÖK) of Corvinus University was established in 2019. Based on the relevant provisions of the National Act on Higher Education, the organisation was established primarily to represent the interests of students participating in doctoral studies. The DÖK is present in the decision-making bodies of the University – the Senate, the University Doctoral Council, the Doctoral Cabinet and the councils of the individual doctoral schools – where the constructive cooperation that has developed over the past years enables effective representation of interests. The DÖK also works closely with the National Association of Doctoral Students and the Students’ Association of Corvinus University.
