Objectives

The aim of the course is to provide knowledge about the basic institutions and rules of business law. Within the framework of it, engineering students usually get to know the structure and operation of the Hungarian legal system, and gain more detailed knowledge of the basics of the legal regulation of economic and business life. The subject therefore first provides basic knowledge of the concept of law, the structure and functioning of the state, the hierarchy of sources of law, and the legal system. It goes into detail on the most important institutions and rules of contract law and company law, so that it finally reviews the related areas of business law - industrial property law, labor law and competition law.
