Faculty of Economics
At the Faculty of Business and Economics, we offer internationally recognised, AACSB-accredited business, management and economics courses in Hungarian and English. Our training portfolio is extremely broad: from higher education vocational courses, through bachelor and master courses, to doctoral studies, we offer a wide range of options, but you can also develop your skills in our specialised further education courses or short cycle courses.
In February 2025, we achieved AACSB accreditation, the most internationally recognised and long-standing accreditation in economic education, placing us in the „Premier League” of business schools. AACSB accreditation confirms that our innovative educational approach and supportive environment provide excellent conditions for our students' professional development.
In a student-friendly, direct atmosphere, smaller group sizes allow for the development of individual talents. Talent management plays a key role for us: we support our students' development through active scientific student society activities, participation in case study competitions, and various scholarships. We assist our students with integration through a mentoring programme, and our extensive network of corporate contacts provides opportunities for them to gain practical experience and enter the job market well-prepared.
Your studies will provide you with not only competitive knowledge but also an inspiring community and opportunities for individual development. All of this creates a solid foundation for a successful future. Experience, opportunity, career: you can find it all in one place with us.
Faculty of Humanities
Here you won't get textbook-style sentences, but real knowledge that won't be swept away by the first technological revolution. We believe that human understanding is the greatest superpower, as behind even the smartest algorithm there's a human. And if the world changes, people need to be understood too.
Are you interested in how people work? How you can help others, how you can develop them? Then psychology, mental hygiene, and teaching degrees could be just the thing for you! With us, caring isn't just a nice gesture – it's the start of a new future.
Do you enjoy organising events, energising communities, or bringing order to the world with the power of words? In Communication, Community Building, and Languages, we don't just talk about it – we do it. You'll learn to make an impact through your own campaigns, events, and projects.
Do you speak multiple languages? Do you think critically and enjoy in-depth, meaningful texts? Our linguistics degree courses will give you the knowledge to thrive anywhere – whether as a researcher or on the international stage.
And if you're interested in communities, social processes – or how to make the future more liveable – then our teacher training programmes, politics, or spatial development are your domain.
Small groups, approachable, enthusiastic instructors, a European-standard Media Studio, international opportunities, and plenty of practical experience await you. With us, you don't just learn – you create, question, and make an impact on the world.
Knowledge that stands the test of time. Competence that sets you apart.
