Faculty of Business and Economics – Focusing on You

Established in 1970, the Faculty of Business and Economics at UP, is the second oldest School of Economics in Hungary, that has become a leading player in Hungarian Higher Education. With more than 3,000 students enrolled in our programmes, we offer up-to-date education and research in Business Sciences and the comprehensive theoretical, methodological and practical knowledge ensures our students' success in their career.​

The school’s wide range of international partnerships, with 73 European and several non-European universities, allow 15-20% of our students to spend at least one semester abroad. To broaden their opportunities we have established strong collaboration with the business and entrepreneurial environment. The outstanding number of highly qualified faculty and doctoral students at FBE are active and respected participants who integrate very well into social and economic research in Hungary and abroad. The school is not only an educational institution but also a rich and creative network of faculty, students, international and corporate specialists, and alumni in senior management positions or dynamic entrepreneurs. FBE is a community of practitioners in the economic sciences and the business world and, as such, a significant regional knowledge center.

International relations – Opening the World

We focus on building and broadening our present range of partnerships both with European and overseas universities. Our aim is to create a basis for teaching and study exchange programmes, internships, and research.

At the Faculty of Business and Economics, exchange students are free to choose from all courses that are available in the Study Guide, regardless of the study level (BSc. or MSc.) or the year – our policy is that we keep all possibilities open. Students have to discuss their options with their coordinator, and decide which courses can be recognized at the Sending Institution. However, please make sure that you read the syllabi of the courses carefully, in order to know what to expect from a course and check whether you have the required knowledge to complete it, or check if there is any limitation on the course. Please note, that in case students choose courses from different programs and years, timetable conflicts may occur.
