Business & Economics Faculties in Romania 2026
Romania's business schools — ASE Bucharest, FEAA UAIC Iași, FSEGA UBB Cluj — offer English-, French- and German-taught BSc and MSc programs in finance, management, marketing, international business and economic cybernetics. EU-recognised degrees at affordable EU tuition.
Why study business in Romania?
Romania's business schools combine an EU-recognised degree, multilingual study options and tuition fees that are among the lowest in the EU. Bucharest, Cluj and Timișoara host major regional offices for multinational companies (KPMG, EY, Deloitte, PwC, Microsoft, Oracle) and for the EU-funded shared-services hubs that anchor the Romanian outsourcing sector. Junior business graduates command starting salaries of 1,000–1,800 EUR/month net — high purchasing power locally — and can quickly transition to Western European roles.
Top business schools
The leading business and economics universities are: The Bucharest University of Economic Studies (ASE) — the largest economic university in South-East Europe, with 13 faculties (Finance, Management, Marketing, CSIE, REI, Accounting, Commerce); FEAA — UAIC Iași; FSEGA — UBB Cluj (with English-, German- and French-taught programs); FEAA — UVT Timișoara.

Admission for international students
Admission to ASE and the other major business schools is based on a written entrance test (typically in mathematics or economics) plus the high-school diploma weighting. EU/EEA citizens apply on equal terms with Romanian students; non-EU applicants apply through the Romanian Ministry of Education. International applications normally open between February and August.

Tuition for English-taught BSc programs typically ranges from 2,000 to 3,500 EUR/year. MSc programs are similar. Living costs in Bucharest are 600–800 EUR/month; in Cluj or Iași, 400–600 EUR/month. Many programs include exchange semesters under Erasmus+ at major European business schools.
