“Having the opportunity to study at one of Hungary's top universities is something I am extremely proud of. The International Relations undergraduate programme is a great start for anyone concerned with politics, social issues, and economic relations. If you are planning a career in the field, make sure to check out the student societies - such as the International Diplomatic Student Association at Corvinus (IDSA). They provide you with hand-on experience in politics and communication through embassy visits, skills development courses, UN simulations, and much, much more! Beside the well-crafted curriculum and essential student societies to be joined, Corvinus offers an exceptional campus, which is not only aesthetically pleasing but also practical and technologically integrated. The instructors are well informed and approachable, making the study process even easier. ”
