About us

Founded in 2007 as the College for Advances Studies of Diplomacy in Practice, the organisation was created by enthusiastic young people studying at the Faculty of Social Sciences of Corvinus University of Budapest with the aim of complementing their theoretical knowledge with practical knowledge.

In 2017, the organisation was accredited as a college for advanced studies, it is called the College of Practical Diplomacy, the main aim of providing a deeper understanding of the world of foreign policy and diplomacy, as well as a broad and critical perspective on economic, cultural and current social issues through various professional programmes and events.

Co-housing

In the Földes Ferenc Dormitory in Ráday Street we have a secure co-housing base, where non-movers often stop by for a free lane or for joint film nights and social afternoons.

Wine tours

In the spirit of cultural diplomacy, we will also visit Hungary’s famous wine regions.

Workshops

We regularly invite experts from different disciplines or practitioners to give us a guided tour of a topic in a private discussion, workshop or training session.

They said about us

Leila

„I was terrified at the end of high school, I didn’t want to be just a Neptune code in a large department. As soon as I entered the GED I realized that you can find a family in college, you just have to choose wisely.
During the 3 years in the department, it gave me friends, professional development, lots of unforgettable moments of joy, plus I realised what I wanted to do in the future. It has also given me many challenges, which we have overcome together, and I have always felt a little bit more myself afterwards. I learned not to worry because there is nothing we can’t do together.”

Janka

„The most wonderful experiences of my university years are linked to the CASDP. The CASDP is the only community whose chats I never mute. Where it doesn’t bother me that „just quick and short” calls turn into 3-hour conversations in no time. Where you can find supportive, helpful people for any, really any idea or hobby. Even in the online space, CASDP has given me a system for my days with its varied programs. In CASDP, the demands don’t feel like a burden.”

Anita

„Before I applied I didn’t know what the CASDP would mean to me. Then suddenly we became recurring characters in each other’s lives, and it actually took longer for me to believe that than it took for the community to accept me.”

Tomi

„It’s extremely difficult to even think about how much the CASDP has given me, both professionally and as a person. I have found my professional interests and made many lifelong friendships within the organisation. Thanks to the CASDP, I have been able to test myself on the international stage, to philosophise until dawn in summer camps in good company over a beer or two, and to have someone who listens to me even in the most difficult times.
I can only recommend to everyone to join the CASDP, as it is a supportive and friendly community that will always accompany you at university and beyond.”
