Welcome Week 2026

This is where your Corvinus journey begins.

Whether you’re joining us from across Budapest or across the world, Welcome Week is your chance to feel at home before classes begin.

Complete your enrolment, meet your Programme Director, discover our campuses, make new friends, and experience university life before the semester even starts.

Before you arrive, make sure you’re prepared for your in-person enrolment. Review the required documents and enrolment steps before Welcome Week to make your first day as smooth as possible.

2. In-person enrolment (mandatory)

Enrolment is the first step to become an active student at Corvinus and must be completed in person after your arrival. The University will verify your identity and your required documents. Once your enrolment is completed, you can activate your semester in Neptun, the University’s central student administration system, and register for your courses.

The Official Enrolment Period and Welcome Week is from Monday 31 August to Friday 4 September 2026. We recommend completing your enrolment on the same day as your Programme Director’s Welcome Lecture.

You will be able to book an appointment for your enrolment. The booking link will be available soon.

3. Programme Director's Welcome Lecture (mandatory)

Meet your Programme Director and learn how your programme is structured, what to pay attention to and what to expect throughout your studies.

The programme schedule is subject to change. As several important activities take place throughout Welcome Week, we recommend arriving on 31 August 2026 and planning to stay for the entire week so you can take part in all key programmes.
