General information: see above

Preparatory courses: Intensive Language Programme – IBS offers two possible programmes: the Classic English Programme, which provides students with some 540 English lessons over a year, or the Dual Programme with half English and half German. In addition, students will also get some foundation subjects to help towards their undergraduate business studies.

Credit System: The International Business School uses the standard Hungarian credit system in all of its academic programmes. One credit equals approximately 30 hours of student work. A typical 1-semester subject (module) carries 4 credits. In order to graduate, students need to collect 240 credits, which means a pace of approximately 30 credits per semester. Credits are only awarded upon passing both coursework and examination in a module. The flexibility of the credit system makes it possible for students to accelerate or to slow down their progression within certain limitations.

Partial training and credit transfer possibilities:

Partial training (temporary studies in another institution): IBS fully supports temporary studies in other institutions. The School has student exchange agreements with 46 European partner institutions making it possible for about 150 students to go on exchange every year. The modules taken up during the temporary studies abroad can be accepted according to the credit transfer procedure (see below).

Credit transfer: Students can request that the College recognise credits for individual modules obtained in another institution of higher education. Such credits can be recognised if IBS is able to verify that they were awarded for the successful completion of a module whose content is at least 75% identical with one taught at IBS.

Admission process:

First, applicants have to complete our on-line English Language Placement test any time between 1 March and 15 June 2004. The IBS Language Institute will write to inform them of their results within ten working days. (Please note that IBS reserves the right to offer applicants a place on the one-year long Intensive Language Programme, if their English proves to be below the required standard.)

Programmes offered in English:

General information: IBS undergraduate programmes have double validation. Primarily, they have been validated by one of the most prestigious ‘new’ universities in Great Britain, Oxford Brookes University, which means that students will receive a BA degree awarded by Brookes. In addition, the programmes have been accredited by the Hungarian Accreditation Board, which means that students registered in the Hungarian higher education system will also receive a Hungarian degree. This double validation makes IBS courses highly appreciated in the labour markets of not only Britain and Hungary, but also throughout Europe.

Our degree programmes are offered as three or four-year full-time courses, depending on whether students choose to undertake a year-long work placement in the third year of their studies. To take part in the English-language undergraduate programmes, applicants will be required to pass the IBS English Entrance Placement Test. Those whose English is not yet good enough to study in English, will be offered a place on our one-year (2-semester) Intensive Language Programme.
