    Corvinus - final diplomas, certificates and proof of English due
    Hard deadline
    Details

    Published as "1 August" with no year, twice: the application-information page lists "Step 8 Submit final diplomas and certificates by 1 August", and the admissions-requirements page says Corvinus "accepts the following proof of English language proficiency (minimum equivalent B2 level) submitted no later than 1 August". This site assumes the 2027 intake. Comfortable for an IB candidate - the diploma is issued in early July - but it is the last gate before enrolment, and an offer is conditional on it.

What it is

The first year covers business essentials, mathematics, micro and macroeconomics, accounting and data analysis; year two adds law, corporate finance, marketing, cross-cultural management and project-based problem solving. Year three turns to international trade practice, negotiation and European business, and a full semester abroad, studying or interning, is part of the course. Teaching is problem-based, with case studies and teamwork in small groups, ending with an internship and thesis. You can concentrate on Global Markets and Marketing, Global Economy and Business, Entrepreneurship, or International Supply Chain Management. Graduates work as trade experts, logistics and sales managers, analysts and consultants, or found their own firms.

What you need

  • IB Maths SL 5 or HL 4 replaces the Corvinus maths exam; without it you sit the online 60-minute maths exam.
