If you continue your studies after graduating from High School, you can choose from plenty of programmes and institutions of higher education. BBU is Hungary’s biggest university in economics and business, with almost 20,000 students studying with us to become a business professional!

At the three Faculties of our University, you can choose from 11 undergraduate programmes during the admission process, full or part-time, with 6 or 8 semesters.

Continuous live-long learning and self-conscious development are now an essential part of life. During a Master's Programme, you can deepen your previously acquired knowledge, while through the extensive corporate relationships at our University, you can learn from professionals active in the business world. You will have the chance to meet people with similar or completely different world views as well as meeting colleagues working in the profession you have chosen. Your horizons will expand, new impulses will reach you, and if by chance you missed out on Erasmus during your undergraduate degree, you can still take advantage of the opportunity in your Master’s programme.

Due to its profile, our Doctoral School tends to fill a gap, since this is the first doctoral programme in Hungary whose training and research curricula focuses primarily on business and management issues of small and medium-sized enterprises and family businesses. We offer an educational and training programme based on applied sciences, from which those interested in an academic career and those associated with everyday business practice, and even those having an MBA degree may benefit.

In the Entrepreneurship and Business programme, we develop business professionals who know the basic concepts and main relationships of business management, as well as the principles of management using resources and production factors.

They will be able to manage, organise and operate business processes, establish organisations and institutions, and design or change their structure and organisational conduct. With their knowledge in the field of economics, social theory, applied economics, and methodology, they will be able to:

  • Plan and analyse the processes of business organisations and institutions.
  • Manage and organise business and entrepreneurial activities and processes.
  • Apply problem-solving techniques in the preparation of corporate decisions.
  • Build their career independently and evaluate their experience.
  • Work independently in various areas of corporate systems.
  • Perform management duties in positions related to the general management and co-ordination of business organisations.
