My experience with the University of Pécs Faculty of Business and Economics in the Business Administration and Management programme was genuinely positive, especially because it didn’t feel like everything was only theory. A lot of the courses were practice-oriented, so you weren’t just memorizing concepts, you were actually using them. Whether it was case work, team tasks, presentations, or smaller projects, the programme pushed us to think in a more “real business” way, which I appreciated a lot.
Another big highlight for me was the community in our cohort. We had a surprisingly strong group dynamic, and it wasn’t just luck. There were systems that actually supported it, like the student representative system, that made communication smoother and gave us a sense that our cohort had a voice, and the International Student Organization (supported by the faculty) also added a lot to the atmosphere. It wasn’t only about events but about creating more connections, collaboration, and honestly just made university life better and more social.
If I had to single out one course that really stood out, it would be Introduction to Entrepreneurship. That class was a real challenge in the best way. We had to build a virtual startup from the ground up, and it wasn’t some simple “pitch an idea and move on” type of project. We had to research and think through everything from finances and business models to app development and other areas that forced us to step outside our comfort zone. It was stressful at times because it demanded a lot, but that’s exactly why it taught us so much. It wasn’t just problem-solving, it gave us practical knowledge and a mindset that feels useful long-term, not only for exams, but for years after university too.
Overall, I’d say the BAM programme at UP FBE (or PTE KTK in Hungarian) is a great choice if you want a mix of structure, real-world application, and a community that makes the whole experience more meaningful.
