Complete Your Studies 100% Online in as Little as One Year

There is no need to relocate or step away from the city you call home. The programme can be completed entirely online, allowing you to pursue an MBA alongside your commitments in Budapest.

With a route to completion in as little as one year, you can work towards your next professional milestone without putting your plans on hold. Your pace will depend on your study choices and circumstances.

Study Without Scheduled Online Attendance

Your working day may not follow a predictable timetable. Because the programme does not require you to be online at specific times and dates, you can decide when to engage with lectures and learning materials.

That freedom makes it easier to build a study routine around meetings, family life and other priorities. You can focus on your coursework at the times that work best for you while keeping track of assessment deadlines.

Take Your Learning Wherever You Go

Study from Budapest, elsewhere in Hungary or wherever your travels take you. The online format lets you stay connected to your goals even when your location changes.

With the mobile app, you can download study materials and watch lectures offline. A journey or a quiet moment away from your desk can become an opportunity to keep learning.

Show What You Know Through Open-Book Assessments

Instead of classical question-and-answer exams, the programme uses open-book assessments. This approach gives you the opportunity to work with course resources as you develop and present your thinking.

For professionals, the format can feel relevant to the way decisions are made at work: examining information, considering different perspectives and building a reasoned response. It encourages you to engage with ideas rather than rely on memorisation alone.

Learn from Internationally Educated Faculty

Your studies are supported by tutors and faculty whose educational backgrounds include world-renowned institutions such as Oxford, Harvard, EPFL, the University of Basel and Washington University in St. Louis.

These varied academic experiences can broaden the perspectives you encounter as you explore leadership, strategy and other business topics. They offer a valuable complement to the experience you bring from your own career.

Join a Truly Global Learning Community

Study alongside a diverse student base representing more than 130 countries. Exchanging ideas with people who bring different professional and cultural perspectives can help you look at business challenges in new ways.

Alumni work for international organisations including DHL, Louis Vuitton, Bosch, CK Hutchison, BASF, Nestlé, Unilever, Daimler, BMW, Audi, the United Nations, Google, ICRC, the World Bank, Microsoft, Intel, Samsung, Tencent, Siemens and Sony. Their varied career paths illustrate the breadth of the programme’s international community.

Plan Your Payments with Interest-Free Instalments

Investing in your education is an important decision. Programme fees can be paid in up to 18 monthly interest-free instalments.

Spreading payments across the available instalment period can make it easier to plan alongside your other commitments. It gives you a clear way to consider the cost of studying as you prepare for the next stage of your career.

Put Your MBA to Work in Budapest

Budapest’s automotive and manufacturing connections create opportunities to think across operations, supply chains and organisational strategy. For graduates working with manufacturers or suppliers, MBA frameworks can help them assess complex decisions and collaborate across functions and borders.

The city is also home to business services and regional operations for international companies. If your career is in finance, customer operations, procurement or people management, the programme can help you bring a broader business perspective to challenges that reach well beyond a single team.

For those drawn to Budapest’s technology and entrepreneurial communities, MBA study can provide a foundation for evaluating growth, leading change and communicating a business vision. Whatever direction you choose, you can apply the programme’s internationally relevant ideas to opportunities in Budapest and beyond.
