Academic Exchange Agreement Reached with Corvinus University of Budapest

On June 15, a seven-member delegation from Josai led by Chancellor Mizuta visited Corvinus University of Budapest to finalize an academic exchange agreement. Having just completed a similar agreement with Károli Gáspár University of the Reformed Church, Josai has now established academic exchange with six Hungarian schools in all, including Budapest Business School, Szent István University, Eötvös Loránd University, and Nyíregyháza University.

Corvinus University President Tamás Mészáros expressed his satisfaction with the agreement, thanking Josai for inviting his students to enroll. The delegation stated that as they are working hard to strengthen English education at Josai, they are hoping that many Corvinus students will consider enrolling in their program. Chancellor Mizuta said that she was deeply impressed by the richly historical Corvinus campus, and hopes that our two schools can engage in a wide variety of exchanges, including joint research projects. Corvinus students scheduled to come to Josai in September also attended the event, taking the opportunity to chat with the Josai group.

Corvinus University of Budapest is an elite academy founded in 1920 under the name University of Hungary, School of Economics. At present it boasts over 17,000 students across seven departments including Economics, Business, Nutrition, Horticulture, Conservation, Administration, and Sociology. The Economics department is especially renowned, ranked #6 of its kind in the Financial Times’ 2009 rankings of European universities. Courses are conducted in English, German, and Hungarian, contributing to Corvinus’ distinction as a growing destination for international students. Two students from Corvinus have been selected for the Mizuta Noriko Hungary Scholarship to begin a year of study at Josai’s Faculty of Business Management and JIU’s Faculty of Tourism, respectively, in September.
