About Budapest Business School (BBS):
Budapest Business School (BBS) – University of Applied Sciences is one of the largest higher education institutions in Hungary. BBS was established on 1 January 2000 as a result of the merger of its three legal predecessors: the College of Commerce, Catering and Tourism, the College of International Management and Business, and the College of Finance and Accountancy. The new institution preserved the established traditions and spirit of its predecessors, but extended its scope to cover the entire business science area, and it grew into a practice-oriented higher education institution on a European scale and became the biggest Hungarian college, educating a total of 20,000 students.
