Talent management at Obuda University focusing on teachers’ and students’ roles

Abstract

We examine how to motivate young people with promising intellectual abilities as an increasingly important topic of excellence in education. Regarding to Obuda University’s mission, talent management should focus on three basic cores: teaching, research as well as servicing and supporting. Conceptually the paper focuses on opportunities which include different ways to obtain the possibilities for talented students. On the other hand, we should take teachers and professors into account, who must step into a new role where it is, no longer enough to be a source of knowledge, but have to challenge students’ interests, fostering their capabilities and increase options for them to work in diverse projects – real or virtual -, fields and teams. We provide a systematic overview of how to support talent management in higher education, in case of the Obuda University’s Safety and Security Studies of Bachelor and Master level. First we provide a short state of art after we show best of practices from the field of honours’ programmes.
