4 courses of ELTE Business & Economics Summer University (BESU) have been reopened for application until June 23, 24:00. 

• Corporate Financial Analysis – An Integrated Approach (Marcell Dülk, ELTE)
• Innovation Management (Vivék Pundír)
• State-Owned Enterprises and Economic Development: Concepts, Challenges, Tendencies (Ákos Dombi, ELTE and Katarzyna Szarzec, PUEB, Poland)
• Tourism: Current Challenges and Future Trends (Gabriele Tragschitz-Köck)

An important change is that the State-Owned Enterprises and Economic Development: Concepts, Challenges, Tendencies course can also be used to complete the master’s subject Comparative Economic Development.

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, (4) the special prerequisites of Performance Management.

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 65,000.

2. Applications are accepted on this platform.

3. By passing exams and thus obtaining grades in your summer university courses, you can fully or partially complete individual subjects in the standard curriculum. In principle, a full 3-credit course or the 2nd and 3rd midterms (in total 65 points in the offered grade system) of a 6-credit course can be completed through a course of the summer university.
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.
A detailed description of each course can be found on the BESU website.

BESU courses will only be accepted as completed regular courses if you were continuously present during the classes and successfully passed the exam at the end of the course. Evidence of successful completion will be provided in the form of a transcript, which you will have to submit together with a credit transfer request to the Student Affairs and Registrar’s Office of the Faculty of Economics by the end of the registration period. (Your grade will equal the grade you earned at BESU.)
To replace a 2nd and 3rd midterm, you will have to present your BESU certificate to your course instructor before the 2nd midterm. In this case, instead of receiving the points from the last two midterms and the extra points you could earn in class, your score obtained up to that date will be increased by the percentage equivalent of the result of the BESU exam. 100% equals 65 points.

4. The prerequisites of Performance Management. On Bachelor level: Management Accounting (in English); on Master level: Cost Management or Management Accounting.
