Faculty of Economics (Veszprém)
The Faculty of Economics at Pannon University places particular emphasis on practice-oriented training, as we consider it important that our students gain real professional experience alongside their theoretical knowledge. Our aim is that our graduates enter the job market with confidence and up-to-date practical knowledge. To this end, our faculty maintains close relationships with its corporate partners, who are also actively involved in education. Our students regularly participate in research camps, study trips, and factory visits, where they can gain insight into the operations of various companies, learn about the best industry practices, and acquire direct experience of the everyday realities of economic life.
Guest lectures by company professionals form an important part of the training, during which students can hear first-hand about current market trends, corporate challenges, and successful business solutions. Case studies play a prominent role in the classes, developing analytical and problem-solving skills. Our students regularly participate in domestic and international case study competitions, where they achieve outstanding results.
We also provide opportunities for our students to get involved in research and project work. These professional assignments not only offer valuable experience but can also secure scholarship opportunities, thereby supporting their professional development and academic progress.
Each of our core degree programmes includes at least one semester of mandatory professional practice, during which our students undertake employee responsibilities and can develop their knowledge in a real-world setting at our corporate partners, where they often receive their first job offer.
Faculty of Management Zalaegerszeg
At the Zalaegerszeg campus of Pannon University, practical orientation plays a prominent role in the training structure. Thanks to the dual training system, students gain experience in a real corporate environment during their studies, thus entering the labour market not only with theoretical knowledge but also with marketable, practical skills. Close cooperation with partner companies ensures that the content of education aligns with the current needs of the labour market, while students develop professional independence.
Around five hundred students study at the Zalaegerszeg campus, fostering a truly familial community. Small group sizes – much like a secondary school class – allow instructors to notice and help students who are struggling, preventing them from dropping out. At the same time, talented, outstanding students are also recognised, enabling them to participate in research, scientific projects, or the work of the Student Scientific Conference.
A hands-on approach is characteristic, so it appears not only in dual education but also in everyday life. Personal relationships, direct tutor support, and an active professional life together add real value to the Zalaegerszeg training site of Pannon University.

This provides an official framework for a practice-oriented initiative that supports both students' professional development and societal engagement.
Circular Economy University Centre – Nagykanizsa
At the Pannon University Nagykanizsa Centre for Circular Economy, learning doesn't begin with textbook chapters, but rather unfolds through real, practical problems. Our students work on projects and collaborate closely with companies, thus experiencing the challenges of the working world during their studies. Alongside the delivery of theoretical knowledge, we also provide practical tools that help understand how an innovative idea can become a functioning, sustainable business model.
Small group sizes, personalised mentoring, and live industry connections create an inspiring learning environment. Our students can learn from guest lecturers from renowned companies – including many former Pannon University professionals – while also gaining direct experience of market operations through study trips.

If a good atmosphere, a supportive environment, and professional development are important to you, then Pannon is the place for you!”
Szofi Fonyódi, Commerce and Marketing Undergraduate Degree
„In a modern environment, we can participate in practice-oriented training, which gives us a solid foundation. As there are relatively few students, our instructors know us personally, are always open to helping, and it is easier to establish direct contact with them. Besides all this, dormitory life is a separate experience that everyone has the opportunity to experience with us. Colourful programmes, parties, and friendships help ensure that university years are not just about studying, but also about real experiences and community.”
Gods Kitti, Business Administration and Management undergraduate degree, Zalaegerszeg
„The Faculty of Humanities” courses are very practical, and we learn a great deal through real projects. The Media Studio is of European standard, where we can work in professional conditions. Our lecturers are young, enthusiastic, and professionally well-prepared – they are a real inspiration to learn from. In the future, I'd like to use my knowledge in the international media, and it helps a lot that I am surrounded by film directors, marketing and social media professionals, from whom I can learn every day.”
Anna walked, English-language Communication and Media Studies undergraduate degree
„I chose Pannon University because I wanted a more intimate environment where I could get to know the students and lecturers around me. At the same time, I didn't want to miss out on the typical grand events you see in films, such as the unforgettable, multi-day parties at freshers” week, or an elegant and beautiful freshers' ball. It was important for me to be able to put theory into practice, and the modern, well-equipped instrument laboratory was of immense help in this regard.”
Karfner Oliver, Mechatronics Engineering Bachelor's degree
„The social environment at Pannon University is incomparable to other universities; the atmosphere is very friendly and informal. Furthermore, it offers many opportunities for individual development from both lecturers and students. The university is well-located, close to Lake Balaton, and Veszprém itself has an important historical past.”
Daniel Gabriel Kazai, Programmes designer in IT
„PEN is a friendly community, we build connections much more easily, we don't miss out on programmes or opportunities due to participant limits. The instructors are open and helpful. I was able to participate in several university practical programmes, we could listen to guest lectures by excellent professionals and we visited companies where we could see in practice what we had learned in theory. All of these contributed significantly to my personal and professional development.”
