Master in Finance with the specialization in Investment analysis at Corvinus University of Budapest. Satisfied with the wide range of relevant material and courses.
Anonymous rated 4 out of 5 stars
The best thing is the diversity of students and international community. Also it is one of the most famous and prestigious universities in Hungary. In some programme the quality and methods of the courses could be improved mainly in social science.
Following the Western European model
Anonymous rated 3 out of 5 stars
The education system should be improved by taking the Western European models as an example. (Education in Hungary is way to theoretical and bureaucracy is a big issue.)
