Degree Accreditation
The Faculty of Business Administration has two programs which are accredited by the International Accreditation Committee of EPAS (European Programme Accreditation System). The Faculty of Business Administration was the first in Hungary to be accredited within the EFMD programme accreditation system. In addition, to widen the program’s international recognition and network, the University became a member of the CEMS (community of European Management Schools).
The CSM has two offerings for the MBA degree: Full-Time MBA and Executive MBA degrees. The Full-Time MBA is a Bologna Master program accredited by the Hungarian Accreditation Committee. The Executive MBA program is registered as a higher vocational education program at the Educational Authority of the Hungarian Government and is also accredited by the EFMD Programme Accreditation System. These accreditations give both degrees strong worldwide recognition and therefore every graduate the ability to transfer their degree to any country or location in the world for continued study or career opportunities. However, if graduates decide to stay in Hungary upon graduation, the Corvinus MBA degree has the best name and strongest reputation in Hungary and the region.
