GENERAL
Andrassy Catholic Business Academy is a secondary vocational institution with 695 students and 74 teachers in the heart of Eger, Hungary. There are 4 fields of education: economics, tourism, trade and marketing and there are two grammar school classes per year. The school is situated in Heves county and most of our students come from the nearby villages and small towns. Being a vocational and grammar school at the same time, all of our students study the core school subjects, and those involved in the vocational training also study compulsory vocational subjects.
Andrássy excels in teaching languages. Students may choose from four foreign languages, either English or German being the first, and English, German, French, Italian and Russian the second foreign language. Students generally have 5 language lessons a week. However, we also have a bilingual course where in the first year of their studies students have 18 language lessons a week. The students who attend this course specialise in Tourism. Moreover, Andrassy offers two-year vocational courses for secondary school graduates in the following specialisations: entrepreneurial administration, financial administration, logistics and transportation.
Andrassy has been making a lot of effort to provide non-formal and informal learning opportunities for the students as well as for the teachers. We have long term relationships with several companies and travel agencies, the Chamber of Commerce and offices which help students to experience the world of work and thus earn about workplaces, disciplines and work activities in connection with their chosen job areas.
