Engaging

ESSCA School of Management is known for its international approach and diverse programs. In my opinion, many students appreciate its emphasis on experiential learning and the opportunities for international exposure through exchange programs and internships. However, some may find the workload demanding and challenging but that's the way it operates. Whether I recommend it would depend on your specific academic and career goals, as well as your preferences for learning style and environment. Likes/ Dislikes: *Essca provides enormous opportunities to improve and enhance your skill. *Diversified culture *Provides webinars and seminars across all the campuses. *Workload Management could be seen as an disadvantage. As sometimes, you may find it very challenging.

Erasmus in Banky Donat faculty

I was an Erasmus Student at this University(Banky faculty) in spring semester 19/20. It was the worst Erasmus ever. Only 4/9 subjects which I choose in my Learning Agreement existed in the Neptun system( which is compulsory for every student). So I had only 8/30 ECTS in the first week. Firstly, the coordinators answered my e-mails, but it wasn’t so useful, because they only said: “everything is good don’t mind we will fix it”. (If you try to choose another subject from the “subjects list for Erasmus student” (which is on official page) be ready, that 85% of subjects don’t exist in Neptun or don’t have any places for you. ) After 10000 e-mails with asking for help, they stopped responding to me. It was already the end of the second week of studying when I realize that nothing will change and I couldn’t reach the necessary 30ECTS. I had to return to my home Uni not to miss this semester. I don’t know who is responsible for this situation and I don’t wish anyone to be in my place. So... if you want to spoil your Erasmus, waste money, time and Nerves then go to Obuda University.

Student Representative

My opinion about this University is this, it is a reputable and recommendable citadel of learning for all. My experience with the school is fair most times and rarely hectic. What stood out is actually the classes and the professors.
