Who is this programme for?

The Corvinus Management and Leadership (MiML+CEMS) programme is designed for global talents who strive for excellence. The success of our students in international case study competitions, the international publications of our lecturers, and the meaningful careers of our thousands of alumni indicate that the MiML+CEMS programme meets the requirements of top international schools: that is why MiML welcomes those who stand out and are open to the next, demanding stage on the path to their responsible leadership career.

We welcome applications from those who are already familiar with the basic concepts of business and economics, but would like to develop into a strategic thinker and implementer, by mastering the tools of a global business leader. Apply if you want to gain a holistic understanding of how management (strategy, processes, technology) and leadership (innovation, organisational culture, and motivation) work together. You will also develop your soft skills – such as critical thinking, creativity, collaboration and communication.”

In accordance with the national entry requirements for the master’s degree in Management and Leadership, we must conduct a credit recognition procedure for all applicants, with the exception of those who have completed BSc in Business and Management accredited in Hungary. During the credit recognition process, applicants must prove that they have earned 15 credits in methodology (mathematics, statistics, IT), 10 credits in economics, 15 credits in business (e.g., accounting, finance, marketing), 10 credits in social sciences, and 10 credits in management (e.g., management, HR, strategic planning). Some of the missing credits can be made up during the first year of the program.
