Welcome

	„Learning educates, work enriches” (Károly Keleti)
	Greetings from the leadership of Keleti Faculty of Business and Management at Óbuda University!

Dear Visitors!

The 21st century brings new challenges for young graduates. They must prepare for positions, they need to acquire professional knowledge that may not even exist at the beginning of their studies. Consequently, transferring scientific knowledge cannot be the sole role of higher education. Its task is also to encourage students to find interdisciplinary, innovative solutions to develop analytical and critical thinking skills, social and professional competencies and to foster continuous self-development. In addition, the aim of Keleti Faculty of Business and Management is - beside providing young graduates with a wide range of competences expected by the labour market – to make them acquire practical skills during their studies that enable them to become an integral part of their organizations when they complete their studies.

In accordance with our strategic goal, we consider practice-oriented training to be of paramount importance. Hence, our company partners are actively involved in designing and providing practice-oriented education. In addition, our excellent employees dedicated to latent management as well as realignment of students, in order to reach our vision, implement the latest educational technology and methodology in education.

The faculty's portfolio offers students a chance for self-development in a wide range of courses from vocational higher education to master’s degree. In addition to traditional economic courses (such as business and management, commerce and marketing, business development), we also offer interdisciplinary trainings that utilise synergies arising from the diversity of the university, such as technical management, business informatics and business-engineering education. A further opportunity provided by the Faculty to acquire practical knowledge is the dual training available for our bachelor and master programs, which offers opportunities for professional practice parallel to full-time studies at leading companies of the Hungarian economy.

Our educational portfolio is further enriched by the fact that we have nearly 70 partner universities in Europe and worldwide. They are open to our students who are eager to participate in part-time training to complement their knowledge with information about local or international economic, technical and IT trends and develop their language skills in a native language environment.

Beside the high-quality education, the main forte of the faculty is its vibrant academic life. Our academic staff participates on several domestic and international conferences, professional forums and presents the results of their research. In addition to these, the faculty also hosts a number of scientific and educational events where our students can participate without a fee. With this we endeavour to encourage them to turn with scientific curiosity towards social, economic or technical problems. There are currently six research groups and two student circles at the Faculty that recruit students interested in academic career, but the Scientific Students’ Conferences organised in each semester, plenty of international and domestic conferences and publication opportunities are also aiming to reach and nurture our young talents.

Our mission is not only to provide knowledge and develop competences, but at the same time we offer a community for our students in which they can simultaneously develop, discover new things, experiment with creative ideas, and support others in this regard. The members of the community are not only students and teachers of the faculty, but experts form our partner organizations, and former students.

I hope that you will soon become a member of the Keleti Faculty of Business and Management’s community!
