Several students and lecturers from the SABAH Center of the Azerbaijan State University of Economics (UNEC) visited the Faculty of Economic and Social Sciences of BME (BME GTK). The UNEC representatives have visited BME GTK twice in the previous years; this year, 34 students and two university lecturers spent two days at the Faculty. The purpose of their visit was to further explore cooperation opportunities between the two universities, and to receive information about the English-language MSc in Finance programme of GTK.

On March 20-21, 2024, two campus tours were organised for the members of the delegation to show them around Building Q and the entire campus of BME.

Following an information session on BME, the Faculty, and the English-language master programmes, Azerbaijani students attended two lectures of the MSc in Finance programme. The first lecture, titled “Industry policy in a portfolio-theory approach,” was delivered by Dr. András Bethlendi, Vice Dean for Finance, Head of the Department of Finance, and Head of the MSc in Finance programme. The second lecture, “Financial history,” was held by András Póra, Assistant Professor of the Department of Finance.

The lecturers of UNEC also held two classes for the students of GTK: Ms. Aygun Abdulova presented a lecture titled “Innovative methods of HRM”, while Ms. Aysel Guliyeva’s class was on “New trends in macroeconomics.”

As part of the collaboration between the two institutions, BME GTK will host representatives from UNEC again next year.
