Join the METU team! Dear Prospective Students,
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 universites 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 successfull 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 90 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 METU
