What is the main difference between (Hungarian) university and international MBA?

  • The main difference is between the types of the two institutions: the Hungarian representatives of foreign partner provide international qualification and Hungarian universities' Hungarian business courses. In the first place the practice-focused education system, the possibility to study while having a full-time job due to distant education, the language of studies and the international recognition could be considered as most important elements of comparison.
    Hungarian universities' business education is held in the Hungarian traditional education system. This is rather a correspondence study (weekly consultations) and provides theoretical education. In general they educate in Hungarian and in English, with a qualification that could be obtained in a shorter period of time that is - with a much cheaper fee - a serious competitive advantage of Hungarian universities. As a matter of fact they provide high level of general economic knowledge. Typically with university-, "academic" tutors, in big lecture theatres that accommodate hundreds of students.
    Those who really need managerial skills and knowledge, MBA qualification, usually do not have time for education in Hungarian institutions that requires frequent occupation. MBA is essentially for top managers but there are places where it considered as a top of a modular system.
    We recommend intermediate management studies for middle managers, higher management studies for middle and top managers and MBA especially for top managers having several years of managerial experience. Everybody is to decide what and up to what level is worth to study. More info >>
