One part of the application process here at Corvinus University of Budapest is to pay the application fee in the amount of 75 EUR and provide the University with proof of payment. The application fee is compulsory and non-refundable – we are unable to waive this fee for any applicant.

How to access the invoice

Once you create your application, the system will generate an invoice in your name. You will need this invoice to be able to pay the application fee via bank/wire transfer. You will also receive a notification email with information on how to find the generated invoice.

To access your invoice, log in to your account in DreamApply. Once logged in, go to the Finances section on the left-hand side. This will lead you to your invoice.

1. How to make a transfer payment

Once you open the invoice, you will be presented with your personal information. You will need to provide your personal information in the notice/reference information field when making the payment.

To help us identify you, please enter the following text as an announcement/notice:
- <your applicantion ID><your family name><AppFee>
- E.g. <123><Smith><AppFee>.

Please also ensure that you include the invoice number in the payment transaction. Otherwise the payment may not get properly processed.
- Your invoice number is shown at the top, it begins with AF- followed by 8 digits.

On the right-hand side of the document, you will find the university’s bank details, such as bank name, account number, IBAN and SWIFT code. Your bank will use these details to complete the bank/wire transfer.
Once you complete the transaction, take a screenshot of your payment confirmation in your mobile app or a picture of the confirmation slip you received at your bank and upload it as part of your application in Corvinus University’s DreamApply system.
