| Older Corvinus news post | About โฌ3,800 to โฌ5,400 a year | Superseded by the current fees page |
| Corvinus Fees and Costs page (official) | Bachelor's โฌ6,600 to โฌ7,000; master's โฌ5,500 to โฌ12,000 | Current reference |
Counselor insight: Parents often compare a Shiksha or QS number with the offer letter and assume the fee has jumped. Always budget from the official Fees and Costs page and the non-EEA euro column, since that is the one that applies to Indian passport holders.

Exchange rate used: Rs.109 per euro. Verify the current rate before finalising your budget.

One-Time and Hidden Costs Beyond Corvinus Tuition Fees
Families usually budget for tuition and rent, then get surprised by the smaller payments that come with Corvinus University of Budapest fees.
| Cost | Amount | When it is due |
|---|---|---|
| Application fee (non-refundable) | Rs.10,900 (โฌ100) | At application |
| Non-refundable registration portion of the advance tuition | Rs.54,500 (โฌ500) | With the first tuition payment |
| Dormitory deposit (refundable at move-out) | Rs.11,990 to Rs.19,620 (โฌ110 to โฌ180) | Before move-in |
| Health insurance (Generali plan recommended by Corvinus) | Rs.34,560 a year (HUF 115,200) | Before or on arrival |
| Residence permit fee at the consulate | Rs.6,540 (โฌ60) | At visa application |
| English test | Varies by test | Before applying |
A few points to note:
- The registration fee is kept. After you pass the admission requirements, Corvinus asks you to pay your first semester, or in some cases the full first year, in advance. โฌ500 of that payment is a non-refundable registration fee.
- Insurance is your responsibility. Self-funded students must arrange and pay for their own health insurance, and proof of it may be needed for the residence permit.
- English test costs add up. If you are still taking IELTS, check these IELTS scholarships to offset the cost.
Exchange rates used: Rs.109 per euro and Rs.0.30 per Hungarian forint. Verify the current rate before finalising your budget.
Counselor insight: Keep roughly Rs.1 lakh aside for these one-time costs in the first year. It stops a small payment from delaying your visa file.
Cost of Living in Budapest for Indian Students
Living costs can match or exceed Corvinus University of Budapest fees for tuition, depending on where you stay.
| Monthly cost | Amount |
|---|---|
| University dormitory | Rs.10,900 to Rs.21,800 (โฌ100 to โฌ200) |
| Private student residence (utilities mostly included) | Rs.34,880 to Rs.1,09,000 (โฌ320 to โฌ1,000) |
| Rented flat | Rs.27,250 to Rs.81,750 (โฌ250 to โฌ750) |
| Food and other expenses | Rs.27,250 to Rs.38,150 (โฌ250 to โฌ350) |
| Student monthly transport pass | Rs.284 (945 HUF) |
| Total monthly living cost | Rs.54,500 to Rs.1,19,900 (โฌ500 to โฌ1,100) |
How dorm places work. For September 2026, self-funded dorm fees were about โฌ750 to โฌ1,250 per semester (Rs.81,750 to Rs.1,36,250). The full semester had to be paid in advance. To apply, students needed to have paid their first-semester tuition and tuition deposit by 8 June 2026.
Rooms have 2 to 5 beds, and there are no single rooms. All 2026/27 dorm places have now been allocated, so late applicants have to rent privately.
Exchange rates used: Rs.109 per euro and Rs.0.30 per Hungarian forint. Verify the current rate before finalising your budget.
Counselor insight: The dorm is the biggest single saving available to you, and it goes to students who pay tuition early. Paying your first semester in spring rather than July can save Rs.20,000 or more a month on rent.
How to Reduce Corvinus University of Budapest Fees
Several discounts and scholarships can lower Corvinus University of Budapest fees for Indian students.
- Early bird, 10% off first-year tuition. Apply by 26 January, pass the entrance exams in February and pay the first semester by 31 March.
- Alumni, 30% off. Available to Corvinus graduates applying for a new program.
- Scholarship applicants who miss out, 20% off. Applies if you were not nominated for, or not awarded, Stipendium Hungaricum or the Diaspora Scholarship and continue as a self-funded student. The Diaspora section of the same page mentions 10%.
- Corvinus Scholarship. For the 2026 intake it offered full tuition on Management and Leadership (CEMS), MSc Finance and the International MBA. Selection went by admission points.
- Stipendium Hungaricum. In 2025 there were more than 8,000 applicants, around 1,100 nominees and 200 to 300 awards. See our guide to Stipendium Hungaricum for Indian students.
- Study grant. Self-funded students can earn a performance-based grant of up to about Rs.21,800 (โฌ200) a month once enrolled.
Exchange rate used: Rs.109 per euro. Verify the current rate before finalising your budget.
Counselor insight: The early bird discount is the most dependable saving because it depends only on timing, not on competing for limited scholarship places. If you apply for Stipendium Hungaricum, you can still line up a self-funded application in parallel as a backup.
Paying Corvinus Fees from India: LRS, TCS and Education Loans
Indian families send Corvinus University of Budapest fees abroad under the RBI's Liberalised Remittance Scheme. From 2025, the TCS threshold was raised to Rs.10 lakh, and education remittances funded by a loan from a specified financial institution became exempt.
For self-funded remittances above Rs.10 lakh in a financial year, TCS was reported to fall from 5% to 2% from 1 April 2026. At 2%, a family remitting the low-end Rs.13.17 lakh first-year budget would see about Rs.6,350 collected. You can claim this back or adjust it against your tax when filing the ITR.
Payment and visa-funds checklist
| Document | Purpose | India-specific details |
|---|---|---|
| Corvinus fee invoice from DreamApply | Proof of purpose for the bank | Required by your bank for education remittance under LRS |
| PAN card of the remitter | TCS is tracked per PAN | Splitting payments between parents uses two Rs.10 lakh thresholds |
| Education loan sanction letter | Qualifies for 0% TCS | The loan must be from a specified financial institution |
| Admission Decision document | Visa application | Issued only after the advance tuition payment |
| Sponsor bank statements (6 months) | Proof of funds for the residence permit | Submitted through VFS for the Embassy of Hungary, New Delhi |
| Insurance certificate | Residence permit | Keep the Generali proof of payment |
Counselor insight: If an education loan is part of your plan, route the tuition payment through the loan disbursal. Paying from savings first and claiming the loan later means TCS on the self-funded portion.
Corvinus Fee Payment Calendar 2027-28
This calendar maps Corvinus University of Budapest fees to the Indian academic year. It is based on the 2026 cycle, since 2027 dates have not yet been published.
Planning calendar
| Month | What to pay or do |
|---|---|
| October 2026 | DreamApply opens for 2027-28. Pay the Rs.10,900 application fee. |
| By 26 January 2027 | Apply early to qualify for the early bird discount. |
| February 2027 | Sit the entrance exams to stay eligible for the early bird discount. |
| By 31 March 2027 | Pay the first semester to lock in the 10% discount. |
| April to June 2027 | Pay tuition before the dorm cut-off (8 June in 2026). Arrange the education loan disbursal. |
| June to July 2027 | Pay the dorm fee for the semester. Buy health insurance. |
| July 2027 | Apply for the residence permit; allow 4 to 8 weeks for processing. |
| August 2027 | Pay the dorm deposit (the 2026 deadline was 24 August). |
| September 2027 | Enrolment. |
Counselor insight: Most extra spending comes from paying late. Missing the early bird window, the dorm deadline and the visa buffer can together add over Rs.2 lakh to the first year.
What If Something Goes Wrong With Your Corvinus Fees?
Problems with Corvinus University of Budapest fees usually come down to timing and refunds.
- Your visa is refused. Pre-paid tuition can be fully refunded if the refusal was beyond your control. Contact international.application@uni-corvinus.hu and submit the refund form in DreamApply with your refusal letter. Reviews take about 2 to 3 weeks.
- You decide not to enrol. A partial refund is possible, but the 20% deposit element is kept. The same page also describes a โฌ500 non-refundable registration fee.
- You cancel your dorm place. After you submit the move-in request, 20% of the dorm fee is kept if you cancel early, 50% after the main allocation results, and 100% after moving day.
- The rupee weakens. You are billed in euros, so a 3% move in the exchange rate changes business and management tuition by about Rs.23,000. Consider paying when you receive your offer rather than waiting.
- Your loan disbursal is delayed. Ask your bank for a sanction letter early. The admission decision needed for the visa is only issued after payment.
Counselor insight: Screenshot every payment confirmation and keep the SWIFT reference numbers. A refund request with a complete paper trail is resolved much faster.
3 Takeaways on Corvinus University of Budapest Fees
Corvinus University of Budapest fees are manageable when you plan the payment dates as carefully as the amounts. Three steps for Indian families:

- Apply by 26 January 2027 and pay the first semester by 31 March to claim the early bird discount and a better chance at a dorm place.
- Route tuition through an education loan, or split remittances between two parents' PANs, to reduce TCS.

Frequently Asked Questions About Corvinus University of Budapest Fees
-
What are the Corvinus University of Budapest fees for Indian students?
Corvinus University of Budapest fees for Indian students are charged in euros. Bachelor's tuition is Rs.7,19,400 to Rs.7,63,000 (โฌ6,600 to โฌ7,000) a year, and master's programs range from Rs.5,99,500 to Rs.13,08,000 (โฌ5,500 to โฌ12,000). The application fee is Rs.10,900 (โฌ100). Confirm the 2027-28 figures on the official page before paying.
-
Do I pay TCS when sending Corvinus fees from India?
TCS applies only to self-funded education remittances above Rs.10 lakh per PAN in a financial year. Remittances funded by an education loan from a specified financial institution attract no TCS. TCS is not an extra cost, since you can claim it back or adjust it against your income tax when you file your return.
-
What scholarships reduce Corvinus fees for Indian students?
The main options are Stipendium Hungaricum, which covers tuition, insurance and a monthly allowance, and the Corvinus Scholarship, which covered full tuition on three master's programs for 2026. Discounts include 10% for early birds and 20% for Stipendium applicants who miss out. Together they can cut Corvinus University of Budapest fees sharply.
-
Can I get my Corvinus fees back if my visa is rejected?
Corvinus says pre-paid tuition can be fully refunded if your visa is refused for reasons beyond your control. Submit the refund request form in DreamApply with your refusal letter; reviews take about 2 to 3 weeks. Keep all payment records, since each refund request is assessed individually.
-
How much is a Corvinus dormitory per month?
For 2026, self-funded students paid about โฌ750 to โฌ1,250 per semester, or roughly Rs.81,750 to Rs.1,36,250. The full semester is paid in advance, plus a refundable deposit of Rs.11,990 to Rs.19,620. Places go first-come, first-served to students who have already paid tuition.
-
When do I have to pay Corvinus tuition?
After you meet the admission requirements, you pay your first semester, or sometimes the full first year, before Corvinus issues the Admission Decision document you need for the visa. Paying by 31 March after February exams qualifies you for the early bird discount, and paying early improves your chances of a dorm place.
-
Is the Corvinus application fee refundable?
The โฌ100 (Rs.10,900) application fee is fully non-refundable, even if you are not admitted or choose another university. Stipendium Hungaricum and Diaspora scholarship applicants do not pay it. Pay it only once you are sure about your program choice, because switching later may mean paying it again.
-
Does Corvinus charge fees in euros or forints for Indians?
Indian students are billed in euros because Corvinus uses euro pricing for all non-EEA applicants. Forint prices apply only to EEA students. Dormitory fees follow the same currency as your tuition, so a self-funded Indian student pays both in euros, while scholarship holders pay dorm fees in forints.
-
How much does one year at Corvinus cost in total?
A self-funded Business and Management student living in a dorm should budget about Rs.13.2 to 15.6 lakh for the first year. That includes tuition, dorm fees, food, insurance and the residence permit. Renting a private flat instead of a dorm can push the total higher, while the early bird discount saves Rs.76,300.
