Why Economics of Education Leadership MBA?

Why Choose Us?

Recognizing the strong connection between education and economic growth, our University saw the need for long-term solutions to accelerate Romania’s progress by improving its education system. It became clear that there was a shortage of leaders equipped to understand and manage the complex relationship between education policy and economics. Inspired by successful reforms in Finland and Singapore, we envisioned an MBA program to unite top experts in economics, education, and leadership, training leaders to create transformative policies while understanding their economic impacts. The first step was partnering with top European universities. This collaboration shaped the curriculum, combining theory with practical case studies, site visits, policy workshops, and real-world projects with industry experts.
