Every summer, thousands of high school graduates and their parents are faced with one of the most important decisions for the future: choosing a university.
The offer is rich. The promises are numerous. Almost all universities talk about success, opportunities and future careers.
But beyond the slogans, the essential question remains the same:
What evidence can a university provide when talking about the future of its graduates?
Academy of Economic Studies from Bucharest chose to answer this question not through promises, but through measurable results: professional insertion of graduates, permanent collaboration with the business environment, international openness and the ability to adapt study programs to the requirements of an economy in continuous transformation.
For the generations entering college today, choosing a university is no longer just about choosing a degree program. It means choosing an environment that offers relevant skills, practical experiences, professional contacts and real development opportunities.
How ASE turns education into professional opportunities
Employability does not begin after graduation. It starts during college.
In an economy where digitization, artificial intelligence, sustainability and new business models are rapidly changing the labor market, universities have the responsibility to prepare graduates capable of responding to these transformations.
At ASE, this concern is reflected in a constant collaboration with the economic-social environment. In 2025, more than 6,500 students participated in internships, mentoring programs and professional workshops organized together with the university’s partners. ASE currently has 487 active collaboration agreements with companies, professional organizations and public institutions, of which 349 are directly dedicated to student practice.
In the last year alone, more than 400 events were organized with the participation of representatives of the economic and social environment, from conferences and professional meetings to applied projects, mentoring sessions and career fairs.
These figures are not just statistics. They show how the university builds real bridges between education and the labor market.
Bucharest – a competitive advantage for future professionals
Choosing ASE also means choosing Bucharest.
The capital concentrates most of the investments, multinational companies, financial institutions and professional organizations in Romania. For students, this means direct access to practical opportunities, internships, projects and jobs already during their studies.
In a world where practical experience is becoming as important as theoretical training, proximity to the business environment is a real advantage.
A university connected to the world
Career preparation today also means the ability to perform in an international context.
The Bucharest Academy of Economic Studies has 352 partner universities from around the world and hosts over 1,170 international students from 45 countries.
ASE students have access to study programs in foreign languages, Erasmus+ mobilities and international academic experiences that prepare them for a global economy.
The international dimension is no longer an optional benefit. It is part of the professional profile of the generations entering the labor market today.
The results that matter
Perhaps the most relevant indicator of a university’s impact is the trajectory of its graduates.
86% of ASE graduates find a job in the field studied within the first six months after graduation.
This figure reflects the relevance of the study programs, the close relationship with the economic environment and the constant concern of the university for the development of the skills required by the labor market.
ASE constantly monitors the professional insertion of its graduates and uses this information to update study programs and to strengthen the relationship with the economic environment.
A choice that can influence the following decades
“For many young people, the choice of university is the first big decision that can influence their entire professional life. I know this from personal experience. I came to ASE from a modest background, and as a student of this university, I discovered here not just a profession, but a path. The education, the work and the people I met made the difference. That’s why I believe that the most valuable investment a young person can make is in his own education.” Univ. Prof. Dr. Nicolae Istudor, Rector of the Academy of Economic Studies in Bucharest
