Corvinus University of Budapest has officially received accreditation from the Association of MBAs (AMBA), one of the world’s leading authorities on post-graduate business education, demonstrating its continuing commitment to excellence in management education.
Accreditation from the Association of MBAs (AMBA) represents the highest standard of achievement in post-graduate business education. Its rigorous assessment criteria ensure that only the highest-calibre programmes which demonstrate the best standards in teaching, curriculum, and student interaction achieve Association of MBAs accreditation.
Upon receiving AMBA accreditation, all current MBA students and MBA alumni of the Corvinus University of Budapest are invited to join AMBA’s global member community of more than 50,000 students and alumni in more than 150 countries on a free basis, for networking, thought leadership, career development, and a variety of benefits.
Corvinus University of Budapest is based in Hungary. Its vision is to maintain its leading role as the top Business School in the region, recognised for excellence in education, research and civic engagement. The School offers two executive MBAs and one full time MBA.
Members of AMBA’s visiting accreditation panel, representing senior management at AMBA-accredited Business Schools globally, commended the practical relevance of teaching at the School which they thought was enhanced by strong and unique corporate and public connections.
The panel also noted the quality of the facilities at the School. When students were spoken to by the panel, they praised the quality of organisational support they received during their MBA learning experience. Alumni also were seen to value the strong branding and positioning of Corvinus in the national and regional market.
Péter Fehér Dean of Postgraduate and Executive Programs of the Corvinus University of Budapest said: ‘Receiving the AMBA accreditation is a very important milestone in the life of Corvinus University of Budapest. Becoming part of a group of only less than 300 business schools in the world, demonstrates our commitment for internationally recognised and quality executive programmes. We are devoted to continuously develop our programmes to prepare our MBA students for the future challenges of the business and economic world.’
Anthony Radev Corvinus President added, ‘One of the priorities of the Corvinus Renewal Program launched in 2019 was to receive AMBA accreditation. We are convinced to have taken an enormous step towards our goal set for 2030 and Corvinus will indeed become the best university of the Central-East European region in the fields of business and social sciences.’
The accreditation is international in scope and reach, and AMBA works under the belief that accredited programmes should be of the highest standard and reflect changing trends and innovation in post-graduate management education. Its accreditation process reflects this commitment to fostering innovation, and demanding Business Schools to perform at the highest level continually.
Andrew Main Wilson, Chief Executive of the Association of MBAs and Business Graduates Association (BGA), said, ‘Corvinus University of Budapest is an excellent University and we are delighted to welcome them to our network of world leading Business Schools. We believe that MBA, DBA and master’s degree programmes must maintain the highest quality and remain current amid ever-changing trends and innovation across industry sectors.’
