How Budapest University of Economics and Business manages international admissions with DreamApply

How does a large European university handle high-volume international admissions without losing clarity, speed, or control?

In this interview, Dalma Horváth-Ibolya, International Deputy Director at Budapest University of Economics and Business, shares how her team manages thousands of international applications per intake across fee-paying programs, Stipendium Hungaricum scholarships, and student mobility.

With more than 20,000 students and 1,500 international students from 95 countries, application volumes continue to grow year by year. Dalma explains how the admissions team keeps everything in one place using DreamApply.

“The number of applications keeps growing. We’re talking about thousands of applications in one intake. DreamApply makes it easy for applicants to apply and for our team to handle applications. It’s user-friendly on both sides.
If universities want to keep everything in one space, from the first contact to sending out the invoice, DreamApply is a great system to use. It saves time within the admissions team and lets us focus on internationalization activities,” says Dalma.
