Corvinus University · Est. 2026

The community that prepares you for high finance

For the people who pronounce it “feh-nance”

We help Corvinus students build the skills, knowledge, and connections they need to start careers in investment banking, private equity, and hedge funds.

01

The Problem

I

No Structured Prep in CEE

University courses cover theory, but there is no clear path to finance recruiting in Budapest. Students are left to figure it out on their own.

II

Information Asymmetry

Most students have no idea how recruiting actually works, when they should start preparing, or what skills they need to get in.

III

Inadequate Alternatives

University classes are too broad, online platforms are expensive, and no student club in the region fills the gap between academics and real recruiting.

IV

Competitive Disadvantage

Students in Central and Eastern Europe start later and fall behind peers at top European universities who get structured preparation from day one.

02

How We Work

A two-year program that takes you from the fundamentals to advanced finance. Each year builds on the one before it.

Entry Prep

Optional

Entry Prep

If you are new to finance, this is where you start. It covers the basics you will need before joining the main program: how finance careers work, introductory accounting, Excel fundamentals, and capital markets. You will also work through simple cases and compete in an entry-level case competition.

  • Finance career overview
  • Accounting fundamentals
  • Excel basics
  • Capital markets
  • Intro cases
  • Entry-level case competition

Year 1

Investment Banking Track

This is where the technical foundation gets built. You will learn how to value companies, build financial models from scratch, and understand how M&A deals actually work. By the end of the year, you should be able to walk into a technical interview and hold your own.

  • Financial modeling (DCF, CCA, PTA)
  • Company valuation
  • M&A process and deal mechanics
  • Pitchbook preparation
  • Mock technical interviews
  • Recruiting preparation and timeline

Year 2

Advanced Finance Track

The second year goes deeper. You pick a specialization and work on real-world projects. Whether that is private equity, hedge funds, or quantitative finance, the goal is to go from understanding the basics to being able to do the actual work.

  • Private equity (LBO modeling, deal structuring, IC memos)
  • Hedge fund strategies and portfolio construction
  • Quantitative finance fundamentals
  • Investment thesis development
  • Advanced case competitions

03

Tracks

Four specializations that match the main career paths in finance. Pick the one that fits where you want to go.

01

Investment Banking

Learn how to build financial models, value companies, and put together pitchbooks. This track covers the core skills that IB analysts use every day, from DCF analysis and comparable companies to M&A process and deal execution.

02

Private Equity

Go deeper into deal-side finance. You will work through LBO models, learn how PE firms evaluate and structure investments, run due diligence exercises, and write investment committee memos the way they are done at real funds.

03

Hedge Fund / Public Markets

Focus on the public markets side. You will learn equity research, develop investment theses, and build portfolio strategies.

04

Quantitative Finance

For those interested in the quantitative side of finance. Covers data-driven analysis, systematic strategies, and the mathematical tools behind modern markets.

04

How to Get In

Three steps. Click on any step to see the full details, what to prepare, and what we are looking for.

05

Finish all assigned projects and coursework
