Corvinus University of Budapest

Corvinus University of Budapest is one of the most significant institutions in Hungarian higher education due to its traditions and the results it has achieved in education and research.

Although the Corvinus University of Budapest was so named only since 2004, its predecessor institutions, the University of Economic Sciences of Budapest ("Közgáz") and the University of Horticulture and Food Sciences have longstanding traditions and history. These were the leading institutions of the economic, social sciences and agricultural education in Hungary. In 2003, the integration of these institutions created a unique opportunity for the new university both in research and education.

Corvinus University of Budapest considers knowledge as the primary value. It was also expressed in the choice of name - referring to the humanism and the Renaissance, the prominent role of science and the arts - as well as the university's motto: Scientia Mea - adiutor meus, My knowledge is my helper. Our university aims to give the utmost help to our candidate students on the long road of acquiring knowledge, in the lifelong process of learning, not only by providing theoretical and practical professional knowledge and skills provision, but also by encouraging them to think and to form independent opinions.
