International Business Economics BA

The faculty’s picturesque, state-of-the art, air-conditioned buildings are located on and near ELTE’s Astoria Campus in the city centre of Budapest. In total, we currently have close to 8,000 active students. Full-degree and exchange international students are a significant part of our student community making the learning experience particularly inspirational and effective. International students share classes with Hungarian students and also Erasmus+ and guest students from partner universities, and are offered various onsite and international, as well as extracurricular opportunities to broaden their horizon. Our programmes include one or two semesters of compulsory internship, which ensures that GTK’s students stand out from the crowd and find exclusive jobs upon graduation.

GTK is a proud member of the Business Graduates Association (BGA) and has two recognitions and accreditations, with further international accreditation processes currently underway. Two of ELTE GTK’s programmes boast international accreditations by the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA).

Primarily targeting international business environments, our trainings are attractive to high-ability and diligent students. We currently offer two English degree programmes at bachelor’s level, namely International Business Economics (8 semesters, 240 credits) and Finance and Accounting (7 semesters, 210 credits).

The main goals of the International Business Economics BA programme at Eötvös Loránd University are to give students a general training in business economics with a special international orientation. Students learn to analyse and address the financial and operational challenges of enterprises. Thanks to the practical nature of the programme extending traditional economic theory and concepts to real-world business situations, students are equipped with both relevant knowledge and valuable skills to deal with issues like business organisation, management, growth, and strategic planning. This programme is recommended to applicants who wish to fast-track their career in various positions in the business world by becoming experts in international market processes, the operation of the EU, and the economic, political, and cultural impacts of globalisation.
