For the first time, an English-language finance master’s program at a Hungarian university has been included in the Financial Times‘ Top 70 Masters in Finance global ranking. On the distinguished list, the master’s program at Corvinus University of Budapest ranked 15th in terms of value for money and 69th overall, revealed the Hungarian higher education institution’s website.
The prestigious ranking places the educational institution in the same group as universities such as the London Business School and the University of St. Gallen in Switzerland.
Only 70 out of the many high-quality master’s programs in finance worldwide were included in the ranking, with many popular European programs not even appearing on the list.
The evaluation criteria covers a wide range of areas, from the current salaries and salary increases of graduates from three years ago to their career paths and the ratio of international students and teachers, reads Corvinus University’s report.
Corvinus University performed exceptionally well in terms of value for money, ranking 15th, ahead of HEC Paris and Italy’s Bocconi University. The Hungarian university ranked 17th in the international study experience sub-ranking, ahead of institutions like Tilburg University in the Netherlands. Corvinus also performed excellently in terms of how far graduates with a master’s degree in finance have progressed in their careers, ranking 33rd in this respect. The Hungarian institution finished 69th in the overall rankings.
“Corvinus University has a long-standing tradition of excellence in finance education. Our finance graduates are highly sought after by employers, not only in the banking sector but across all areas of the economy. Thanks to our international efforts, the program we launched in English just a few years ago has received significant recognition.
This ranking clearly conveys to both domestic and international markets that the education provided here is of the highest quality and holds great value for both Hungarian and international students,”
emphasized Bruno van Pottelsberghe, Rector of Corvinus University.
The list was published on Sunday, with France’s ESCP Business School at the top. A total of twenty countries are represented in the ranking, with the largest number from the United Kingdom (14), France (11) and the United States (6). Only two Polish universities from the Central and Eastern European region made it onto the list alongside Corvinus.
Corvinus students who graduated from the master’s program in finance three years ago and were surveyed for the Financial Times ranking currently earn an average of HUF 21.1 million (EUR 52,300) per year, a 62 percent increase over their starting salaries, and almost all of them found employment within three months, reads the university’s release.
