At our university, we provide compulsory physical education courses for our students for two semesters, who can attend our classes even after completing them. The number and types of courses are constantly being expanded based on student feedback. Currently, our students can choose from over 30 different forms of exercise at the university level. In the recent period, as an innovation, our course offer has also increased with judo, wall climbing, yoga and cheerleading classes.
In each of our three faculties, a specially appointed instructor deals with our foreign students:
The Sports Office offers sports opportunities at the university regardless of pre-qualification. For our students, we regularly organize home sports tournaments (e.g.: basketball, table tennis, partisan bouncer, soccer cup), university sports day, as well as bike and walking tours and a ski camp. One of the most popular programs is our traditional night tour, the Moonlight Hike – Hike at Night, but the BGE Glide Night skating evening in December 2022 and 2023 was also very popular.
Competition
We also support the participation of our student athletes and employees in various sports events with registration and equipment. Citizens of our university regularly represent our institution with excellent results in Budapest, national and international university championships.
Our athletes have achieved many outstanding national and international sports results in the past year, e.g. in water polo, swimming, taekwondo, judo, ice hockey or even fencing.

Competition organization
The staff of the Sports Office of the Budapest University of Economics and Business participate not only in the field of competition, but also in the field of competition organization. In 2023, we organized the Alpine Ski and Snowboard MEFOB for the third time. For the first time in the history of Hungarian university championships, we organized cross and boardercross national championships.
In the 2023/2024 academic year, the BBU Sport Office undertook the organization of several new MEFOBs, like the Rowing and Goalball MEFOB organized in the fall.
