Overview
The English Language Preparatory Programme is a two-semester-long programme (20 lessons per week, 300 lessons per semester) offering students an opportunity to improve their English Language skills to prepare them for entry to a Bachelor or Master’s degree programme at Budapest Business School.
In addition to assisting students to gain the necessary level of general English competence and study skills to start a university degree program, the programme aims to bridge the gap some students may experience in getting adapted to the European tradition of university teaching, with an intercultural dimension of study.
