About the course

An eight-semester degree covering international trade, global markets, logistics, finance, management and marketing, with business language courses, data analysis and intercultural skills. The final two semesters include two professional internships (30 and 20 credits).

Entry requirements for Irish students

  • Hungary asks for a completed upper-secondary school-leaving qualification, and the Leaving Certificate normally meets this, but each university decides whether to accept it. There is no national conversion of Leaving Cert grades (H1-H8, O1-O8) for English-taught programmes, and BGE publishes nothing Leaving Cert-specific, so confirm with admissions.
  • The university’s application portal refers to applicants booking interview dates, so expect an admission interview; no specific maths requirement was confirmed.
  • The programme is taught fully in English. The required English level (for example B2 or an IELTS score) and whether Leaving Cert English is accepted as proof were not confirmed; ask admissions.

How to apply

  1. Check the programmeRead the International Business Economics BSc page on uni-bge.hu and note the 8-semester length and internship semesters.
  2. Register on the portalCreate an account on apply.uni-bge.hu (DreamApply) once the 2027 intake opens and choose the bachelor programme.
  3. Upload documents and book an interviewUpload your Leaving Cert results (or predicted/interim results), passport and English evidence, and book your interview date. Apply early; the 2026 EU deadline was 15 June.
  4. Accept and payAccept your offer, pay the 690,000 HUF semester fee and register your residence in Budapest after arrival as an EU citizen.
Deadline for Irish/EU applicants: For September 2026 entry the university’s application portal gave 15 June 2026 as the closing date for EU applicants (non-EU applications closed earlier). The 2027 dates were not yet published when checked; expect a similar late-spring deadline and confirm on apply.uni-bge.hu..

Costs

  • EU students pay 690,000 HUF per semester (1,380,000 HUF a year), roughly EUR 3,500 a year depending on the exchange rate; non-EU students pay EUR 3,000 per semester. These are the 2026/27 rates. Application fee and any deposit were not confirmed on the official pages during this check, so ask admissions.
This is a four-year degree with two internship semesters built in, and fees are charged in Hungarian forint, so the euro cost moves with the exchange rate. Apply directly to the university, not through a central system.
