As the leading faculty of the Budapest University of Economics and Business, we consider the rigorous nature of academic work to be an important basis for practical education. We would like to see this approach reflected in the knowledge of our students, i.e. the combined and conscious use of the results of different disciplines to solve business problems. Our aim is to produce professionals who are responsible, able to think and act, and who are also able to think about the problems of the world around them and develop solutions for them in five, ten or even twenty years' time.
