International relations of the Faculty
The international relations of the Kautz Gyula Faculty of Economics are arranged by the Dean’s Office and by the departments.
Széchenyi István University joined the ERASMUS programme in 1998. At that time the exchange programme began with our students travelling to foreign countries. It was in 2001 that we first accepted incoming students from abroad.
Since 2007 the ERASMUS programme has been continuing and was renewed in the Life Long Learning programme. Besides the former academic exchange of students, now students are given a chance to travel abroad for work experience with a scholarship. In addition to the exchange of teachers, the exchange of employees involved in other tasks has also been realized.
Programmes in addition to exchange programmes:
‘Management for higher education and regional development’ (2006-2009)
‘Financial management of medium-size companies in an international context’ (2004-2010)
