Rajk College for Advanced Studies

Rajk College for Advanced Studies (Hungarian: Rajk Szakkollégium) is an educational institution offering accommodation as well as advanced courses in the fields of economics and social sciences, establishing a community for students excelling in these fields. It was founded in 1970 by the students of the Corvinus University of Budapest (then Karl Marx University of Economic Sciences), with Attila Chikán as its first principal. It is the oldest existing institution of the kind in Hungary, giving a model to later colleges. The college also specifically helped with the formation of colleges in Hungary and abroad, such as the Bibó István College for Advanced Studies in Hungary or the Mikó Imre College for Advanced Studies in Romania.
