Bachelor of International Business Economics

Attention! The current translation of the courses is available here.
Detailed course descriptions can be found here.
If you like to see the world from a global perspective, are interested in foreign cultures and the processes of the global economy, enjoy learning languages and can see yourself in the corporate and business world, then this is the right programme for you.

In addition to basic business skills such as legal, financial and management knowledge, you will learn effective negotiation techniques, how to find and analyse information independently and learn about organizational operations. But that's not all: as a future international business professional, you'll learn about taxation in different countries, international market conditions and, of course, finance. You will also be aware of the national and global economic processes that determine the environment in which businesses operate.

Project assignments are a key part of our training, where you will be supported by one-on-one mentoring to solve real business problems.

You can put all this into practice during your studies, as the European Union's Erasmus+ programme offers you the opportunity to apply for part-time study abroad at more than 70 universities in Europe, and ELTE's international cooperation network allows you to apply to several universities overseas. Our special language programme supports the study of 7 foreign languages in addition to English. Furthermore, you can study the entire International Business Economics programme or selected courses in English.
