The second round of application starts on 9 June and finishes on 16 June. In this round you may only apply to two courses: AI for Marketing, and Architecture of Deals: Principles of Transaction Design. You may apply on this surface. For details see below.
Jim Seltenrijch and Marge Täks’s Hackathon: Creating Entrepreneurial Solutions for Complex Problems course is organized as an Erasmus Blended Intensive Program, and the international students will arrive from Erasmus partner universities participating in the program; that’s why it doesn’t accept applications from international students. However, we’ll reserve 10 places for ELTE GTK students, so you may apply. This course is also special in including two online sessions, one in the week before and one in the week after the offline course. (That’s why it is “blended.”)
Detailed Information
The ELTE GTK Business & Economics Summer University (BESU) this year will be held between 13 and 17 July. BESU offers one-week English-language, small-group courses. ELTE GTK students are hereby invited to join the international students of the summer university.
Please find below some important information on (1) the conditions of participation with or without payment, (2) the application process, (3) the content of the summer university, as well as which subjects in the standard curriculum can be completed in advance by taking part in the summer university.
1. Free participation is offered if the following minimum conditions are met: (a) an adequate level of English language proficiency, (b) the student must belong to the upper third of the cohort based on the scholarship-average, (c) for first-year Hungarian students only: at least 425 points obtained at the common entrance exam process.
The following are accepted as proof of English language proficiency: advanced level English complex language exam (minimum C1 level) or intermediate (B2) language exam and a minimum of five subjects completed in English; in the case of master’s students, the English language subjects can be substituted by at least two years of work experience in an English-speaking environment.
Candidates who meet the minimum requirements will be ranked and selected according to the order based on the totalised corrected credit index. If a student does not meet the conditions for free participation but there are still available places on his/her chosen course, he/she can participate in the summer university by paying a fee of HUF 48,000.
2. Applications are accepted on this surface from 20 March to 30 April. Notification about the decision will be given by 7 May. Before submitting your application, you must either register your language exam in Neptun or upload the certificate to the application surface mentioned above. You can apply to a maximum of three courses, but you can only participate in one of them.
Students will have to confirm their intention to participate at the end of May. We’ll send a message about that.
3. By passing exams and thus obtaining grades in your summer university courses, you can complete individual subjects in the standard ELTE GTK curriculum. Exams in summer university courses can be taken on the last day of BESU.
The table below shows the summer university courses and provides information on which bachelor’s and (in the case of Hungarian students) master’s courses can be fulfilled by a particular BESU course.
