Mathias Corvinus Collegium

This means, however, not only the expansion of lexical knowledge, but contextual studies which help students to develop critical thinking, cultural awareness and leadership skills. Within this framework, attention is focused on the development of a solid methodological basis:

the college’s formal and informal logic courses teach juniors correct argumentation, how to avoid the pitfalls in reasoning and to recognise the manipulative instruments of propaganda;
being directly taught by a distinguished practising professional supplies students not only with the appropriate rules of conduct in protocol, but also with the inside knowledge necessary to be at home on the international scene of diplomacy, economics and politics where MCC graduates will have to participate;
additionally to vocabulary and grammar, the intensive English courses at MCC give juniors an introduction to the rules of academic writing and holding a presentation;
since lectures at the given universities leave much to be desired in terms of sensibility to other aspects, we complement university studies with courses which are often lacking: students of economics attend political philosophy courses, while students of law, humanities and other social sciences are tutored in micro- and macroeconomics.

Most juniors enter the college directly from MCC’s Secondary School Programme; however, applications of other talented first-year university students are also welcome. A successful completion of the junior courses is a necessary but not sufficient condition for an admission to our majors.
