Brief Overview of the Field

Every company needs an employee who is responsible for recruiting and developing colleagues, and who organizes and manages employee relations, teamwork, and organizational efficiency. You’ll find a variety of job titles—such as HR manager, trainer, and HR specialist—for the roles you can fill after completing our program.

Our program is practice-oriented; our students begin engaging with the corporate sector as early as the first semester and participate in individual internships during the 7th semester.

With us, you’ll learn about domestic and international practices in “human resources management,” including learning and talent management, organizational development, career counseling, change management, the latest coaching methods, as well as a wide range of practical skills (e.g., human resources and labor relations techniques, research and testing methods, customer relationship management, HR support and self-service systems, organizational culture, business ethics, corporate social responsibility issues, and industry-specific topics).

An advanced-level high school diploma is not required.

Dual Training Program
in Human Resources In our dual training program, you’ll spend an equal amount of time at a company as you do at the university, and you’ll 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.

Alfa Works Kft.

BKV Zrt.

GRUNDFOS Hungary Kft. Harman Becker Kft.

Linamar Hungary Zrt. Minerva90 Higher Education and Course Organization Kft.

NEXON Business and Trade Kft.

ATTENTION!
English-language programs are offered only as full-time programs; studying in these programs involves full-week, daytime commitments. Due to the need to practice using specialized terminology in a foreign language, an individualized curriculum can only be provided to students with an exceptional level of language proficiency. According to current regulations, the diploma awarded upon completion of an English-language program certifies C1-level 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.

Professional Internship
The individual internship may be completed at any domestic business, multinational company, local government, or labor organization, as well as at public institutions or nonprofit organizations. Students with strong language skills may also participate in internships abroad through the Erasmus+ program with an EU scholarship.
