Budapest University of Economics and Business (BUEB)

The history of our University dates back to 1857, when BUEB’s predecessor – the Pest Academy of Commerce – was founded in response to the professional challenges of the era. This institution – expanded in 1899 with the establishment of the Eastern Academy of Commerce – became the first college of commerce in Central Europe, and within it, the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy. 

Meanwhile, higher education in another branch of economics began in 1962 with the establishment of the Higher Institute of Finance and Accountancy, which, from 1970, expanded its scope of education as the College of Finance and Accountancy.    

In parallel with these developments, the Correspondence School of Foreign Trade was established in 1957 to train highly qualified, multilingual professionals for Hungarian foreign trade; from 1971, it continued its operations under the name College of Foreign Trade.    

Focusing on preparing students to enter an ever-changing labour market, the university offers plenty of opportunities for its students to gain real-world experience and relevant skills during their studies.
