PARTNERS

WHAT OUR STUDENTS SAY?

"I chose this faculty because I was passionate about economics in high school and I can say that my expectations were not disappointed. I had the opportunity to learn new things both interesting and practical, from teachers with direct experience in finance. I believe that English language teaching will give me additional knowledge and an advantage in choosing a future job."

Corina Niculăescu, 3rd year, Bachelor's program taught in English FABBV
"My name is Bianca Dumitru and I’m student at the Faculty of Finance and Banking, Master program Taxation. I chose this school because I believe that it is the best in the field of banking and finance, but also because it can provide you many employment opportunities after graduation. During the study I met well trained professors that always were ready to help us, I have acquired theoretical knowledge and most importantly, I had the opportunity to move from theory to practice based on many educational partnerships that faculty has with institutions and companies. If I go back in time, surely all so this faculty would be my first choice."

Bianca Dumitru, Master program taught in English FABBV
"I have the chance to talk with teachers who are working directly in my areas of interest, and who are taking into consideration the students' opinions. I do not study abroad, but the Faculty of Finance and Banking offers a similar experience as we debate current global issues using international references. We are given the chance to participate in conferences with key players in the economic environment. I can say that if you are interested in economics and specialization in finance and banking than this faculty is your best choice in Romania."

Diana Grigorescu, 3rd year, Bachelor's program taught in English FABBV

WHAT OUR GRADUATES SAY?

"I graduated the Faculty of Finance and Banking in 2008. The three years of undergraduate studies have served as basis for my future studies and careers in finance. I took a master’s degree in econometrics from the University of Amsterdam and a master’s degree in artificial intelligence in England. The high level of mathematics taught in Romania helped me greatly in Western Europe. Now I work at an investment bank in London, where I’m specialize in a field at the intersection of finance and mathematics."

Robert Bâtcă, FABBV Graduate, employee at Credit Swisse‐London

… & OUR CURRENT PARTNERS FROM BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT

"It is saying that the life is the sum of the choices we make. In my case, the option of going to the Faculty of Finance and Banking was inspired by one of the choices. In the midst of the beginning of the 90 Romanian society, the faculty has been an oasis of stability for me and where I prepared a solid foundation for the profession that I do now with passion."

Gabriel Sîncu, Executive Director, Tax at Ernst & Young Romania

WHAT OUR EMERITUS PROFESSORS SAY?

"I graduated as valedictorian in 1950. Since then and until now leaked 67 years, during which I was connected, actual or virtual, with the economic and financial education rightly considered ALMA MATTER, that is our spiritual."

Academician Professor Emeritus Dr. Iulian Văcărel

HOW SEE US OUR COLLEAGUES FROM ABROAD?

"I have acted as an external examiner on the MSc and PhD programs at the Doctoral School of Finance and Banking now for a number of years. I am persuaded that the quality of the students graduating from this program is high, comparing very favorably with Schools internationally. The program is exceptionally well led. Not only are students well equipped intellectually in terms of economics, econometrics and finance, but they are taught to work independently, are well motivated and imaginative, and clearly destined for successful professional careers. Students who have visited my own institution as part of their studies at DOFIN are amongst the strongest we teach. There is no doubt that a student obtaining a good degree by DOFIN standards is a good student by any standards."

Dr. Simon Burke Department of Economics University of Reading, UK
"DOFIN aims at providing its students with high level education, thereby preparing them for high quality work in interesting and important positions. Therefore, only the best and brightest will be admitted to DOFIN. For several reasons DOFIN takes a special position:It is a European Center of Excellence / It has a dedicated director and staff / Its curriculum is advanced and meets western standards / Western professors give seminars at DOFIN / Western professors join their Romanian colleagues on the doctoral examination committee. Those who are admitted to DOFIN will have to work hard. However, after their graduation they will observe it will pay off. As a result of the high level curriculum and the western standards DOFIN's graduates are in high demand on the labor market. My personal experience is that, generally, DOFIN's students are intelligent, motivated and diligent."
