Brief Overview of the Program

What makes our program unique is that, in addition to foundational general subjects such as management, business communication, finance, accounting, and marketing, we provide in-depth theoretical and practical knowledge in the fields of business informatics, marketing communication, startup culture, and the green economy—a field that is becoming increasingly important today. These fields are developing rapidly, and there is a shortage of qualified professionals, so you’ll have no trouble finding a job with your degree. You’ll also have the opportunity to learn from well-known and respected professionals who are actively involved in the business world, and we maintain strong ties with the corporate sector.

We operate our dual training program in partnership with several well-known large companies at both of our campuses.
Our module-based curriculum allows you to complete a bachelor’s degree in human resources or tourism and hospitality in parallel with your major in business and management, enabling you to earn a degree in two additional high-demand management fields. Alternatively, by extending your program by one semester, you can also earn a degree in economics.

Those who choose the English-language program will study alongside international students, allowing them to build international connections and gain intercultural experiences during their college years.

An advanced-level high school diploma is not required.

PLEASE NOTE!

English-language programs are offered only as full-time programs; studying in these programs involves a full week of daytime classes, and due to the need to practice using specialized terminology in a foreign language, an individualized curriculum can only be granted based on an exceptional level of language proficiency. According to current regulations, the diploma awarded upon completion of an English-language program certifies C1-level language proficiency—that is, proficiency equivalent to an advanced-level language exam. Consequently, the development of foreign language (English) competence takes place throughout the entire program and cannot be substituted by courses taught in Hungarian.

Dual Training Program in
Business and Management As part of our dual training program, you will spend an equal amount of time at a company as you do at the university, and you will receive a salary for the entire duration of your studies under a student employment contract. This amount is at least 60% of the minimum wage per month. Your chances of finding a job on the labor market will increase significantly, since with several years of professional experience, you will no longer be considered an entry-level candidate. In the Business and Management program, you can complete your dual training at the following companies:

• BKV Zrt.
• GRUNDFOS Hungary Kft.
• Harman Becker Kft.
• NEXON Vállalkozási és Kereskedelmi Kft.
• Simon Plastics Kft.
• Videoton Holding Zrt.
• WHC Staffing Services, Ltd.

You have the opportunity to participate in the dual training program at both of our university campuses (Székesfehérvár, Budapest).

Internship
The continuous, semester-long internship required in the 7th semester can be completed at any domestic company, as well as at public institutions or nonprofit organizations. In addition, the most successful students who are also proficient in foreign languages have the opportunity to complete their internship abroad with an EU scholarship through the Erasmus program.
