Pham Ha Phuong (Katie)

I am Pham Ha Phuong, also known as Katie. I was born and raised in the vibrant capital city of Hanoi, Vietnam. My journey has taken me across continents to Budapest, where I am pursuing International Business Economics at Budapest Business University. Studying here has opened doors not only for my career but also for my personal growth. The professors? They’re more than just teachers – they’re mentors who push you to think beyond textbooks and challenge you to grow. Along the way, I’ve embraced challenges, connected with inspiring people from diverse cultures, and expanded my horizons. From my roots in Vietnam to my academic journey in Hungary, I am grateful for the experiences that have shaped me and excited to continue my growth as I work toward my future goals.

Máté Fekecs

Hungary
Commerce and Marketing, BSc

I was born in Budapest, and I always loved the city. When I finished high school, I didn’t know whether I wanted to stay in Hungary or to go abroad for university, but I was sure that I wanted to study in English. At BBU I was able to learn professional skills in English, so in the future I can work in another country if I want to. What I didn’t expect, was how many amazing international friendships I’d make along the way. I’m thankful for BBU for connecting my friends and I, from the other side of the world.

Mehriban Karimova

Communication and Media Studies, BA

I am Mehriban from Baku, the land of fire and tea. My journey in Budapest started because I wanted to experience new cultures and meet people from all over the world. BBU gave me this chance. I love studying communications and how broad it can be. Being an ambassador also gave me a different perspective on my student life here. I get to learn, grow, travel, and be a part of an amazing team. My goal for this year is to work and get professional experience in my field.
