A Message from the Dean




CEU Business School is clearly in motion. The momentum that began following our integration with Central European University three years ago is continuously building. We have successfully developed and launched two new graduate degree programs, a joint undergraduate degree program, numerous industry-specific executive education initiatives, and a center for corporate governance that plays host to the business community’s most timely and topical seminars and workshops.

The coming years will see us accelerating this pace - more new programs are being planned, including off-campus sites for our MBA and MSc program, and we are attracting top talent from more and more countries, farther afield.

We are driven not only by our commitment to be top-tier business school in Europe in the coming years, but are also guided by the forces that shape businesses today - globalization, information technology, and corporate social responsibility. 

CEU Business School programs provide opportunities to add momentum and to advance your own career with progressive program content and delivery modes that have been designed to meet changing marketplace needs. Whether it is our prestigious Executive MBA for top executives, our intense one-year full-time MBA, our flexible Weekend MBA, or our specialized MSc in IT Management, there is a program for you.

Joining CEU Business School places you at the center of Central-Eastern Europe’s regional business hub - a strategic location at the crossroads of the old and new Europe and the gateway to the Near and Middle East. Your business school experiences here are further enriched by the rich diversity of your fellow classmates, and by the School’s close relationship to the local business community.

Become a part of the CEU Business community and make the first move toward realizing your own personal and professional goals.
