Academic Programs

In the academic year 2006/2007, in the spirit of the Bologna process, Hungarian institutes of higher education introduced the system of academic degrees with three levels (Bachelor's, Master's and Doctorate) thus making it easier to compare the degrees awarded. The Bologna process encourages student and staff mobility, and the establishment of cooperation agreements in the European Higher Education Area. Students can now continue their studies in other higher educational institutions in different countries; can be sent abroad on placement (internship) and even start a career or a business in another EU member country.

 Bachelor's Programmes

At present, these are the BA programs offered by the BBS:

• Business Management
• Business Teacher Training
• Commerce and Marketing (also in English and German)

 Post Graduate (Second Degree Acquisition) Programmes

These programmes are meant for those who already have a degree (in business studies or in other fields) but wish to complement their training in some specific areas. BBS offers over 40 specialised programmes for those who want to enlarge the scope of their knowledge.

 Higher Vocational Training

These are four-semester (two-year) module-based, highly specialised and practice-oriented programmes that focus on the demand of the labour market. They lead to a diploma in the specific field of study.

Lifelong Learning

Today it is usually not enough to rely on knowledge acquired years ago. The Lifelong Learning Centre of BBS offers different forms of training to update professionals in various areas, including on-the-job courses, Master's programmes jointly operated with foreign universities, etc.

Short Courses

Since the changing environment of business life requires constant updating of the skills and knowledge gained years ago, BBS provides programmes which can meet these demands. BBS and its Colleges therefore offer different forms of training to update professionals in various areas.
