Faculty of Finance and Accountancy

Practical experience, knowledge sharing in the following forms: guest lectures, participation in the StartLAB Entrepreneurship Club, joint course development, collaboration on business projects, establishment of a corporate department, dissertation supervision, participation on a final examination committee, case study development, company, and plant visits. The Faculty is a good example of this type of collaboration with the IFUA Strategic Partnership, which includes curriculum development, guest lecturing and micro-certification; agreements with Morgan Stanley to deliver courses in finance and IT; or CaseSolvers to help our students learn to think commercially through guest lectures and courses.

The training aims to reconcile the needs of higher education and the labour market by providing practice-oriented training for the professionals of the future. Participation in the training offers companies the opportunity to take on student employees who, during the training period (and even afterwards, depending on the agreement), become well acquainted with the company and its work processes. They will also be directly informed about professional innovations through close cooperation with the university.

The University offers a wide range of postgraduate courses for those wishing to refresh their knowledge or gain new skills in new areas through Master’s courses, professional development, or adult education. The University is also willing to work with business leaders to develop company-specific training programmes. Among the FFA's Master's programmes, the Master's programme Economist in Management and Leadership was created specifically to give new impetus to the professional careers of future or current managers by deepening or brushing up their knowledge. This programme is unique in its emphasis on group thinking and learning, providing candidates with a dynamic and diverse learning environment. While the Postgraduate Controlling and Managerial Accounting programme is aimed at controllers who are interested in or want to develop in the field of controlling, which is undergoing change due to the digital revolution but becoming increasingly important in the CFO organisation, our Business Coach Programme is aimed at people who are interested in the coaching profession or at coaches wishing to develop in their profession.

We aim to generate knowledge that can be directly translated into organisational practice through our research projects. We have worked on many research projects in recent years, the results of which are also highly relevant to our partners. Examples include research on inclusive HR practices, corporate social responsibility, or the digital transformation of organisations. In doing so, companies and other organisations are not only the subjects of the research, but also the actual partners in the scientific activities. In addition, many of our lecturers and researchers participate in organisational development as consultants, making direct use of the latest scientific findings.

The University offers career services to companies interested in employing students. The aim of Career Services is for the University to provide a platform to bring students and companies together. The University promotes the partners' internship opportunities, internship programmes and job offers on the University's available interfaces (Career Platform) and forums.

Budapest Business University welcomes and offers contractual cooperation opportunities aimed at supporting scientific, educational, social, cultural, and sporting events with professional, material, or financial means. In previous years, we have successfully cooperated with OTP Bank on several occasions to support the National Controlling Case Study Competition, which included professional, material, venue, and prize sponsorship in addition to providing the case study.

At the University, we support our students who excel academically and are active in the community through the Secure Future Scholarship Programme. The scholarship programme is funded from our own resources as well as corporate grants. Participation in the programme is ideal for our partners who are unable to take full control of the selection process, but who are willing and able to participate in the support of the students and plan for the potential future employment of selected successful students in their company, including internships.

Establishing a corporate scholarship is also possible. This form of support not only supports our students financially, but also allows our business partners to participate in internships with selected students.

The institution's infrastructure includes both a listed building and modern facilities designed in the spirit of sustainability, making it a perfect venue for conferences, press conferences and training sessions. In recent years, two of the FFA's lecture halls have been renovated with the participation of companies: lecture hall V and a PC room with the help of WTS Klient, lecture hall III and two seminar rooms with the help of Process Solutions, while the refurbishment of lecture hall IV as part of the creation of the FINTELLIGENCE financial training centres was made possible with the financial support of the Foundation for the Development of Economic Methodology Training and UNICREDIT Bank. We have also set up a SMART corner for our students to study and prepare for their business presentations, thanks to a donation from Deloitte. FFA's SMART Campus on Berzsenyi Street offers a state-of-the-art, well-designed, and inspiring space for holding workshops, trainings, and mini-conferences, for which Team Academy Budapest, BudapestLAB and the Doctoral School of Entrepreneurship and Business provide an excellent professional background.

BBU has successfully participated in national, EU and international tenders in a number of areas related in some way to local businesses, particularly the SME sector. In recent years, a number of educational development projects have also been implemented to address various business issues. These include comprehensive training within and outside the school system, educational materials, and the development of skills for business mentors. In the future, through the implementation of national and international tenders, the University aims to cooperate more closely with Hungarian companies.
