• Apply problem-solving techniques in the preparation of corporate decisions.
• Build their career independently and evaluate their experience.
• Work independently in various areas of corporate systems.

With the knowledge and skills obtained, our graduates may become successful as highly skilled and innovative analysts, managers, or entrepreneurs.

The first doctoral school in Hungary to be established in an institution with the status of a University of Applied Sciences was established at our university. The BBU Doctoral School of Entrepreneurship and Business (BBU DSEB) focuses on businesses and their development. It places emphasis on the business and management topics of SMEs (small and medium-sized enterprises) at the heart of its training and research. The programme aims to train researchers in the field of social sciences and in the area of management and organisational sciences, including the field of business research.
