Why did you choose to study abroad?
Before university, I had lived in Budapest for a couple of years. At that time, I decided to study in Hungary. The only possible way to study in Hungary was to get a scholarship. At that time, five students from Mongolia could receive a scholarship to study in Hungary in different fields. I was fortunate to be one of them.
Why did you choose the University of Sopron? In what field did you earn your degree?
As I mentioned above, living in Budapest, the capital, was full of energy and a vibrant lifestyle, but I wanted something different for my soul. Sopron was the best choice for me, both for traveling and for living. What I liked the most was the city itself—connected to the forest and very calm. The citizens were very kind and helpful. You will not be able to feel that kind of kindness in people in many other cities.
I earned my degree in the programme International Business Economics at the Alexandre Lamfalussy Faculty of Economics.
How were your university years? Do you have any experiences you would like to share?
My university years were full of fun. You can see that in my vlog videos—I had no time to be bored. Some experiences I would like to share:
1. Weekly hiking
2. Cooking on an open fire everywhere, even in the dormitory territory
3. Traveling to Budapest, Vienna, and Bratislava (very close)
4. Riding a bicycle to Lake Fertő, crossing the border on foot, and taking a boat tour
5. Daily walking, which helps with your health (no need to take a bus) Etc.
Did you have a favorite course? If yes, which one was it and why?
All the courses had their advantages. I would like to highlight that the guest lecturers' courses had a slightly different teaching method and topic-based approach, which made them my favorite compared to others.
How did your career develop after obtaining your degree? Where do you work now? What is your current job/responsibility?
I cannot compare my career before and after university because I simply had not worked before. However, during university, I had the chance to start my own shared business in Mongolia, where I was responsible for marketing and management. While I was part of this business, it was quite successful, and everything I was learning at university helped me see things clearly and take steps forward. The brand was one of the rising startups
with a big chance to grow. Unfortunately, money changes people, and not all ships last forever—I decided to quit.
Currently, I’m working at a Hungarian-Korean joint company, a construction materials wholesaler, as a Project Manager. My main responsibility is overseeing Chinese projects in Hungary, controlling the entire process: making offers, signing contracts, scheduling deliveries, managing deliveries, handling final payments, etc. I already have five junior managers and assistants, which makes my job easier.
Our company has business connections with companies in Bosnia & Herzegovina, Serbia, Poland, Germany, Slovenia, Turkey, China, and South Korea, which means I go on business trips almost every month. During my university years, I gained valuable experience in communicating with people from different nationalities, which helps me in my current job.
What was the best thing about the years you spent in Sopron/Hungary? Do you miss anything?
The best things were the vibes of life there, the students, the teachers, and the mentors. I have never heard from students at other universities that they have a special person who helps, guides, and handles their problems as if they were a parent or mentor. In our case, Márta Sándor was our guardian angel.
What I miss: Sopron itself and, of course, university life (which I already mentioned in previous answers).
What did you gain from the University of Sopron?
I would say I gained a lot of experience in communication and knowledge that played a fundamental role in my career. The university also supported my hobby and gave me the opportunity to improve it. The teachers were helpful and understanding of my situation, which helped me develop problem-solving skills. They not only taught their subjects but also set an example of kindness and mental positivity, which gave me valuable lessons on handling problems without anger or pessimism.
All the university staff were a great example of real Hungarian warm-heartedness toward foreigners—something that is quite rare in Budapest.
