For the first time, a Hungarian university has been included in the newly published international MBA business program ranking for 2025 of Quacquarelli Symonds (QS), one of the most renowned higher education rating organizations. Corvinus’ full-time MBA program has won the 151st-200th place globally and the 50th place in Europe.
Corvinus University of Budapest has achieved another international success, competing for the first time in the QS MBA (Master of Business Administration) education ranking, which was published on September 25. To be included in the Global MBA Rankings, the programme must be taught mainly on-campus, be taught full-time and have an average class size of at least 15 students. All schools must be accredited by either AACSB, AMBA, EFMD.
In Hungary, only Corvinus’ full-time MBA program meets these criteria, and it reached the 150-200th place out of 340 programs in 58 countries on the global list. The European ranking includes 91 institutions, three from the Central and Eastern European region. Corvinus earned the best regional ranking here, shared with the Croatian Zagreb School of Economics and Management, which also means the 50th position in Europe.

The QS MBA ranking examines institutions in five dimensions: employability, ROI, entrepreneurship and alumni outcomes, thought leadership and class&faculty diversity.
“Corvinus’ result in the international MBA ranking is a great confirmation that our university can increase its international weight year by year. We are particularly proud that in the employability dimension Corvinus’ full-time MBA program finished even higher, in 80th place in the global ranking, and that also performed above average in the diversity criterion,” said Ákos Varga, Acting Dean of Corvinus for Executive and Professional Training.
