Programme Content

Graduates of this double Hungarian and Irish degree programme will be prepared to enter the international labour market with advanced skills in developing and analysing the strategic, financial and market processes of international business organisations and addressing business challenges. You will start with the fundamentals of business and at later stages also learn about the regional impact of globalisation processes; international trade and diplomatic organisations; various aspects of international marketing, finance, and people management; and develop skills required for working in international teams and negotiating in a multicultural environment.

In addition to providing a solid foundation in economic and management theory, the programme is highly practice-oriented. A very important criterion in the selection of our prestigious faculty is that they have real-life business experience. The seminars are always interactive, where tasks, assignments, and discussions prepare students for thinking and working both individually and together in teams.

The knowledge of professional English business language enables graduates to succeed in the world of international economics and global business. This can be further enhanced by a two-semester study at Dublin Business School in Ireland where you can acquire an Irish BSc (Hons.) in Business (Global Business) in addition to their Hungarian BSc degree in International Business Economics (nemzetközi gazdálkodás) awarded by IBS.

You can also opt to take part in the Erasmus+ programme while studying at IBS.

Skills and Competences

Business and academic communication skills, such as presentation, argumentation, and negotiation skills, use of IT tools, quantitative skills, effective adaptation to environmental changes, and teamwork skills are some of the most important skills students will develop during the programme.

Career Opportunities

Through this programme you will have insights into a wide array of of issues and areas ranging from finance, marketing, HR, organisational behaviour to operations and project management. As a result, you will be able to make a positive contribution in a range of settings. You are as likely to find yourself working in a small, privately-owned company as in a large multinational corporation, the public sector, or perhaps even starting your own business.
