The redesigned BSc (Hons) Corporate Finance programme at International Business School (IBS) Budapest offers a modern, career-focused education that combines essential financial knowledge with the analytical, technological and strategic skills required in today's rapidly evolving financial industry.
The most exciting innovation is the introduction of a new Portfolio & Wealth Management specialisation, designed for students interested in financial markets, investments, asset management and the strategies behind building and preserving wealth.
As global financial markets become increasingly sophisticated and technology transforms financial services, organisations need professionals who understand investments, risk, digital assets and long-term financial decision-making.
The renewed programme prepares students to navigate these challenges and pursue careers across banking, corporate finance, investment management and financial services.
Students complete three semesters of shared business and financial studies before choosing between two specialisations in the fourth and fifth semesters.
