Dear Prospective Students,
Join the METU team!
the rector welcomes you
I welcome you on behalf of the community of Budapest
Metropolitan University (METU). You are about to make a
very important decision in your life. Your higher education
institution will greatly influence your further career, social
and professional relationships. We know this, that is
why we created an education method, where studying is
enjoyable and you can leave the university well-prepared
for the job market. Let me explain you why education at
METU is so unique.
Modern, successful universities have already discovered
that in the fast-changing job market the most important thing is to prepare students for
any challenges with a portfolio-based education method. In Hungary we were the first
ones to introduce our unique myBrand method, which helps our students be successful
on the job market.
What are the advantages of the myBRAND education method?
Studying is fun: instead of frontal education, you will participate in a lot of teamwork
and projects, you will learn the most up-to-day digital and presentation skills in a
modern environment.
Practice in real life: you will learn the theoretical knowledge and will be able to apply
that straight in real-life examples.
You can start your career as a fresh graduate with experience: you will have
a portfolio prepared by the end of your studies, introducing all your projects and
professional skills. This portfolio will be an invaluable help on your first job interviews.
Why is METU a great choice?
You can gain relevant professional experience at one of our 2500 corporate partners.
Modern, international environment with a lot of free language courses.
International exchange programs with scholarships at one of our 200+ partner
universities.
Build your own personal brand from the first day of university!
Build international personal and professional relationships! METU has students from over
110 countries, thus you will be in a perfect environment for this.
I truly hope that you will be part of our international community soon and find your
own path at METU.
Dr. Bálint Bachmann DLA
Rector of Budapest Metropolitan University

Unique training system at METU
this is
• Have you heard that by the time you’ll have finished your studies such professions will exist that have never even
been thought of yet? METU prepares for this ever-changing, constantly renewing word.
• And has it ever crossed your mind that from the very first day of university you are building yourself and your own
future? It is so as the university years are all about laying the foundations for your own personal brand.
Successful, modern universities have already realised that they can prepare their own students for the unknown future by
introducing the portfolio-based educational system. In accordance with the international trends, METU has pioneered to
transform its educational system and introduced the portfolio-based system first in Hungary.
