Approval and validity of subject requirements

Consulted with the Faculty Student Representative Committee, approved by the Vice Dean for Education, valid from: 10.10.2022.

Topics covered during the term

Releváns gazdasági témák: pl. gazdasági szektorok, vállalkozási formák, marketing. A nyelvi tárgyak esetében nem készülnek részletes tematikák, mert a tárgy célja a készségfejlesztés, és nem egy adott (tematizálható) tudásanyag frontális átadása. Ez ad lehetőséget arra, hogy a tematika az adott csoport igényeihez igazodjon, a tárgy céljainak megfelelően.
