Business Administration and Management BSc

About the course

A general business and management degree, taught in English at METU’s Budapest campus. It lasts 3.5 years (7 semesters, 210 ECTS). The course uses case studies and practical projects across economics, marketing, finance, accounting, management, HR, logistics and strategy. You can specialise in Financial Management, Global Marketing or International Business (each needs at least 15 students to run).

Entry requirements for Irish students

• METU asks for a completed secondary-school qualification with an overall average above 50% in each year and in the final exam. The Leaving Certificate normally meets this, but METU does not say how it converts Leaving Cert grades (H1-H8, O1-O8), so ask admissions how your results will be assessed.
• Maths: METU asks for a school maths grade above 60%. All applicants also take a 30-minute online maths test (10 multiple-choice questions) and an online admission interview.
• English: you need intermediate English (IELTS 5.5+, TOEFL 69+, FCE or CAE). No certificate is required, because METU checks your English at the interview. Native speakers should not need a test, but confirm this with admissions.
