International Business

BA in INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS

It is not enough to be an outstanding business expert only back at home. As a member of the European Union, Hungary is in great need of business and communication professionals who are able to understand the challenges and key issues of international economic relations in order to exploit any opportunities that may arise. If you are seeking to do that, you need secure knowledge of economic and business matters, a fluent command of a second language for professional purposes and thorough practical and work experience. The International Business Economics program of BKF offers exactly that. Our graduate students, with professional level ability in at least two foreign languages, leave school as well-trained business experts with the potential to achieve success and immediate results in the international business scene.

The program is designed for individuals who:
are well informed with a keen interest in the world of international business, politics and the media, who look to find their future career in an international environment and who are open to exposure to foreign cultures. Future students should also be able to use two foreign languages for most personal needs with a desire to improve their existing language skills so that they become an important asset both in their future career and for their companies.

Career options:
National and international companies and institutions offer good employment options for our graduates in the governmental, administrative, non-profit and civil sector. What is the profile of the institutions where you can find jobs after graduation? In various areas of international and regional relations either abroad or in Hungary, at national or regional organizations, international companies, small and medium-sized enterprises. Students who graduate from the International Business program may therefore take full advantage of the future employment opportunities offered by Hungary's EU membership.

As part of the program all foreign students have the opportunity to attend a course in “Hungarian as a second language” free of charge! 

“Either as experts working for small and medium-sized enterprises or large multinational companies with a trans-national focus, our graduates are ready to fully perform their responsibilities including organizing and carrying out international transactions and writing successful tenders. Having acquired the necessary work experience they will be able to start a successful career in any position with organizational or management responsibilities or even as executives in the field of international business communication.”
Dr Csaba Törő, College Professor, Head of Program, former head of the European Union Department of the Office for Foreign Relations at the Hungarian National Assembly

“My dream for the future is to work for a huge international organization abroad. In addition to understanding the principles of economics, here at BKF I have been equipped with a large toolkit and a wide range of skills and competencies that enable me to make well-informed decisions at work.
