The online system contains all partners that already have Cooperation Agreement with the University.

2. Introducing the Online Career Platform and the Form Filler System

Budapest University Of Economics and Business has launched its Online Career Platform. By exploiting state-of-the-art technical possibilities and building on communication forms now used naturally by students, the aim of the Career Platform is to enable us to operate a system that significantly reduces the time spent on contacts management via automated processes. The current system has been developed based on the experience of past years and feedbacks from companies and students.

The system consists of two major platforms:

1. Internship - form filler ("Internship" menu)

2. Career Platform ("Career platform" menu)

The purpose of the online internship form filler is to enable the end-to-end documentation of the internship online.

The online internship form filler – replacing all paper forms – puts all administrative tasks of the internship online, makes the process paper-free, creates an organised and unified platform for filling out forms, and eliminates errors.

The Career Platform is a virtual space that enables the offers and demands of companies and students to meet, as well as companies to advertise mandatory internship opportunities and voluntary work for BUEB students.

All necessary data will be recorded on this platform, and all necessary documents will be generated by the platform.

Students must ask the partner institution to register on the online platform. This should be done once a preliminary agreement between the student and the partner institution has been reached.

Full-time and correspondence course students are required to complete a 13-week, 520-hour internship outside the place of study in the final semester of their training, as specified in the Faculty's timetable.

2.1  Digital Entrepreneurship, Logistics, Service Management and Business Management specialisations

To start the internship, students must have acquired at least 171 credits according to the model curriculum of the degree programme. The number of credits required may not include credits from the Thesis course (SZAT0BA07).

2.2      Team Academy specialisation

The students of the Team Academy specialisation complete their internship after the first two semesters of the specialisation. This also means that the internship can be started after completing all compulsory subjects of the specialisation.

The students of the Team Academy specialisation will complete the internship in the third semester even if they have not yet obtained the minimum 171 credits required for the courses. The reason for this is that the cohesion of the teams (student enterprises) formed by the students during the specialisation can only be maintained in this way. Specialisation students are expected to complete their internship preferably within the framework of a partnership related to the business idea developed in the first two semesters of the specialisation. For the specialisation only internships and placements related to the courses will be accepted, to be approved by the head of specialisation; internships gained during previous studies will not be considered. If this is not possible for any reason, students may apply for other placements in the SME sector using the application form available for this purpose.

Students who have completed their internship but do not have the minimum 171 credits required for their courses may fulfil course requirements in the semester of the internship as well as in the following semester(s). Taking courses in the semester of the internship that are part of the ordinary programme does not exempt students from meeting the internship requirements, but flexibility will be allowed in the internship schedule.

During the semester of the internship courses can be taken both as examination courses and as normal or specialised courses. The performance requirements for normal or specialised courses taken simultaneously with the internship are the same as the ones described in the respective course guides (subject syllabus and requirements).

The internship is worth 20 credits and its completion is a prerequisite for acquiring the pre-degree certificate.

3.1    Digital Entrepreneurship, Logistics, Service Management and Business Management specialisations

The students are free to choose their internship placement.

Any company or institution with an activity related to the nature of the programme and with jobs requiring higher education qualifications can be chosen for completing the internship. The job requirements include the expectation to introduce the students to one or more aspects of the management of the organisation, giving the students the opportunity to apply and practice the knowledge acquired during their university training.

3.2    Team Academy specialisation

Due to the specific nature of their training, students also complete the compulsory internship within the framework of this specialisation. Students are therefore expected to carry out actual management activities related to their Team Academy studies during their training period. The internship will take place at the Team Academy training site, but due to the specific nature of the training, a different location may also be chosen in agreement with the head of the specialisation, provided that the placement belongs to the SME sector offering business-relevant tasks for the student.

4.1     Digital Entrepreneurship, Logistics, Service Management and Business Management specialisations

The aim of the internship is to provide an opportunity for the students to familiarise themselves with the professional work of the host institution (organisation, company, public institution, NGO) engaged in a field relevant to their studies and specialisation, allowing the students to actively participate in the daily work, independently solve the tasks assigned to them by their workplace manager and gain experience for their future employment.

4.2     Team Academy specialisation

During the active training period and the internship, the students will work on their own entrepreneurial ideas as well as on real business projects.

E-mail: szakmaigyakorlat@uni-bge.hu

If you have any professional questions regarding the internship position, please contact the instructor assigned to the internship course by email.

Full-time and correspondence course students are required to complete a project-structured internship of minimum 8-weeks, i.e. 320 certified working hours in the final semester of their training, as specified in the Faculty's timetable.

To start the internship, students must have acquired at least 171 credits according to the model curriculum of the degree programme. The number of credits required may not include credits from the Thesis course (SZAT0BA15).

The internship has no credit value and its completion is a prerequisite for acquiring the pre-degree certificate.

The students are free to choose their internship placement.

Any company or institution with an activity related to the nature of the programme and with jobs requiring higher education qualifications can be chosen for completing the internship. The job requirements include the expectation to familiarise the students with IT tasks related to the management of the organisation (e.g. collection, processing and analysis of data, development and high-level application of IT tools), giving the students the opportunity to apply and practice the knowledge acquired during their university training.

The aim of the internship is to provide an opportunity for the students to familiarise themselves with the professional work of the host institution (organisation, company, public institution, NGO) engaged in a field relevant to their studies and specialisation, allowing the students to actively participate in the daily work, independently solve the tasks assigned to them by their workplace manager and gain experience for their future employment.

1. Choosing your Internship Place

Students have two ways to choose an internship place:

- Choosing from the list of BUEB partners,

- Finding an institution, and requesting its acceptance as an internship partner.

The online system contains all partners that already have Cooperation Agreement with the University.

2. Introducing the Online Career Platform and the Form Filler System

Budapest University Of Economics and Business has launched its Online Career Platform. By exploiting state-of-the-art technical possibilities and building on communication forms now used naturally by students, the aim of the Career Platform is to enable us to operate a system that significantly reduces the time spent on contacts management via automated processes. The current system has been developed based on the experience of past years and feedbacks from companies and students.

The system consists of two major platforms:

1. Internship - form filler ("Internship" menu)

2. Career Platform ("Career platform" menu)

The purpose of the online internship form filler is to enable the end-to-end documentation of the internship online.

The online internship form filler – replacing all paper forms – puts all administrative tasks of the internship online, makes the process paper-free, creates an organised and unified platform for filling out forms, and eliminates errors.

The Career Platform is a virtual space that enables the offers and demands of companies and students to meet, as well as companies to advertise mandatory internship opportunities and voluntary work for BUEB students.

All necessary data will be recorded on this platform, and all necessary documents will be generated by the platform.

Students must ask the partner institution to register on the online platform. This should be done once a preliminary agreement between the student and the partner institution has been reached.

Online Career Platform and Form Filler System can be found here.

Students can enter using their Neptun ID codes (username) and passwords. 

3. First steps
