Overview – AO Masters at a glance

The Accounting and Organizations Masters Program is much more than an academic program, the challenging and exciting environment stimulates the best out of you. The program provides you complex set of skills and techniques to help you not only in your professional life, but in your personal life as well. The unique theoretical aspects together with the intensive practical issues examined, qualified me a place as a financial analyst with just 2 semesters in my baggage at that time. The courses I have taken have all been challenging and forced me to push myself to improve my knowledge and understanding. This program had opened golden opportunities for me, thus I would truly recommend it to anyone who wants to follow a business track or would rather choose to develop further through doctoral studies.

This master's program delivers what it promises. So far it has met all of my expectations and I dare to say that it is the best pick you could take in the accounting/ financial field in Cluj. I chose it because the courses are taught in English (they really are!) and that sets you ready for an academic/ international job. The jargon may be daunting, but not if you're used to it. And that gets me to the subjects and the books used. Firstly, the subjects are carefully picked from a wide range of fields (accounting, finance, statistics, economics) and the accompanying books are from prestigious universities. I personally loved studying from them. The books are really applied, with representative study cases which ease your understanding, but there are more abstract and philosophical ones too. Either way, these books and subjects are challenging and they will broaden your perspectives, as well as build your vocabulary. Everything mentioned above wouldn't be complete without the professors. They are all well prepared in their teaching field, they know the jargon properly and are always making sure that you understand and get involved. Mainly why most of the courses are interactive. All in all, if you want a new perspective in accounting/ finance/ even economics, if you want to improve your jargon in the field or just your English skills, this master's program is your best bet. (I didn't even mention all of the perks because I want you to discover them by yourself.)

As my graduation from the Accounting and Organizations Masters Program is approaching, I feel thankful and proud to be part of the first generation of this ambitious project. The Masters Program is a great opportunity for everyone who wishes to fulfill his/her economic knowledge and broaden his/her perspectives. It challenged me to look beyond traditional accounting, it provided incentives to explore both the world of business modeling and the great diversity of academic perspectives. I strongly recommend the Accounting and Organizations Masters Program for all the students who are interested in the academic environment or in a career in a multinational company. In my opinion, graduating such a Master Program not only opens doors for you, but it also gives you another perspective about your career path.

I strongly recommend this Masters Program to hard working students determined to excel in this complex economic world. You’ll find an analytical based curricula transmitted by talented and dedicated professors. In addition, students benefit from useful courses taught by professors from abroad. At the same time, I find it very interesting that courses taught at AO are correlated with courses from top universities around the word.

I have had the chance to review the academic curriculum that is being put forward by the Faculty of Economics and Business Administration and believe that it meets the rigorous requirements of such a Masters Program, on par with similar offerings of U.K. Universities. The Program’s curriculum is well developed and caters to the needs of students wanting to develop the knowledge, abilities and skills that are necessary to pursue a career in academia and auditing companies that are present in Romania. I think that the Masters Program is extremely timely. It certainly has the potential to add significant value to the academic environment in Romania.

I hereby express my support for the Accounting and Organizations Masters Program [...]. I consider it to be an inspired and timely project responding to the needs of students in Central and Eastern European Countries. Considering the curricula planned for the Program, I am confident that it has the potential to prepare students who will further be able to successfully pursue a high quality PhD Program in accounting or positions in wellknown companies such as the Big4.

Newly enrolled for the Accounting and Organizations Masters Program, I applied for an Erasmus Plus mobility in October 2015 and I received a scholarship to visit the School of Business, Economics and Social Sciences at the University of Graz in the 2nd semester. From that moment on, it was a 6 months story of experimenting, learning and developing. At the German beginners class, I have met people from all over the world: China, Argentina, Peru, Mexico, Portugal, India, Spain and Canada. Then came flat colleagues from Brazil, Ireland and Germany, and also meeting other internationals, learning, doing trips, parties, sports and recreational activities together. (…) All in all, it’s an experience I wish to have again which enriched me both professionally and personally.
