Why Budapest?

It is not only Hungarians who say that Budapest is perhaps the most beautiful capitol city in

Europe. This year Cond Nast put Budapest at the 2

nd

best city in the world to visit, tying with

Florence, Italy. See the whole reporthereand learn more about the cityhere,orclick here.

With a population topping two million, the streets of Budapest areboth day and nightalways

full with life. Thousands of restaurants, pubs and music clubs are littered throughout the

cityscape, satisfying even the most diverse needs.

In Budapest, apartments are numerous in number and quite modestly priced. Here, deciding on a

flat suddenly becomes more about finding the best neighborhood and accommodation for you,

rather than letting your wallet determine your decisions.

Why study Public Policy and Management at

Corvinus?

The Public Policy and Management (PUMA) program is the product of several decades of

experience, consideration of international best teaching practices, and guidance from alumn

working in various fields of administration, consultancy, etc. Our curriculum is designed to not

only provide theoretical background in political science, economics, organization and

management studies, but also to offer practical knowledge and skills for students through the use

of case studies, individual and group assignments, and more.

Our curriculum is designed to meet and exceed growing international standards. On theother hand, we also provide knowledge in specific features of administrative systems of CEE

and post-communist countries and illustrate the skills necessary to effectively handle this

particular environment. The English version of the curriculum and courses is nearly identica

to our EAPAA accredited Hungarian courses.EAPAAis the European Association for Public

Administration Accreditation that has awarded only 26 institutional accreditations.

Our Department has always maintained strong ties to many worldwide leading schools ofPublic Administration. We received professional assistance to build and improve our

curriculum and instruction methods from SUNY Rockefeller College during its time of

highest relevance and we have maintained a twenty-year-long personal and institutiona

relationship to the Public Management Institute of the Catholic University of Leuven, a

European leader in the field.
