The Program was started in 1993 as a joint venture between the Bucharest University of Economic Studies and Universite du Quebec a Montreal (UQAM) after an intergovernmental agreement between Canada and Romania. Since then the program has developed naturally and has brought an important contribution to the development of managerial skills on the Romanian market.
In order to ensure top quality education and the highest standards, the Bucharest University of Economic Studies has partnered since 1993, for the ROCA Executive MBA program, with some of the most prestigious universities from Canada, starting with UQAM, continuing with HEC Montreal and with the University of Ottawa. Starting with 2016, the Program went naturally to the next level and is again a joint venture between the two initial partners, the Bucharest University of Economic Studies and Universite du Quebec a Montreal (UQAM).
UQAM was founded on April 9, 1969 by the government of Quebec, through the merger of the Ecole des Beaux-Arts de Montreal, a fine arts school; the College Sainte-Marie, a classical college; and a number of smaller schools. In 2015, UQAM had a student population of 43,314 in six faculties (Arts, Education, Communication, Political Science and Law, Science and Social science) and one school (Management). It offers Bachelors, Masters, and Doctoral degrees.
The Bucharest University of Economic Studies, founded in 1913 by Royal Decree, is Romania’s top business higher education institution ranked A class ”research intensive university” (2013) by ARACIS and recognized by U-Multirank.
All our courses have a strong practical character and the entire curricula of the program is constructed so that it meets the most important expectations of the professionals from the field, the requirements of our partner companies and it also integrates the feedback of our alumni.

Some of our Alumni
The program provided me with a structured framework and a friendly work environment, but also competitive at the same time, which determined me to leave personal comfort zone, to deepen and update modern business concepts necessary for any CEO and which helped me to be more efficient in the business decisions made. I interacted with Romanian and Canadian teachers, I lived an intense and interactive learning experience, especially during my study visit to Montreal, I had extraordinary colleagues, with whom I still keep in touch and with whom I developed not only relationships. trust and friendship, but also business. I enthusiastically recommend the ROCA Executive MBA program to all managers and entrepreneurs pursuing personal and professional development.
Irina Arsene, graduate of the ROCA Executive MBA, founder and CEO of Mindit.io and Mindit Consulting, an Executive MBA program does not offer you as much technical expertise, which you can learn on your own from books, as it creates a framework, a structure, even a mindset and gives you some tools to look at business. It’s great to know what questions to ask about the business you’re growing. An Executive MBA also gives you access to a valuable network with which you can later validate your business ideas or which you can consult. The importance of a network with similar values is crucial for any entrepreneur and when I started the background screening business I validated the idea with some of my colleagues in the Executive MBA.
As a second year international executive Executive MBA student , I have been thoroughly impressed with the rich two diploma program by UQAM and Bucharest Business School. The professors, who are from both universities,with the guests speakers from business world, bring a diverse range of expertise and real-world experience to the classroom, making for a truly enriching educational experience. BBS also offers opportunities for us to participate in courses at other universities, such as the Politecnico di Milano, which I took advantage of in May 2022 and found to be truly useful. In addition, the program has brought together a diverse group of middle and high level managers, entrepreneurs and business owners providing a valuable opportunity to learn from and network with my peers. I am also a proud member of the alumni association and have already enjoyed participating in the various networking events hosted by the association. Overall, the skills and knowledge I have gained and refreshed, as well as the connections I have made, will no doubt prove invaluable as I embark on my entrepreneurship journey. I am grateful for the opportunity to be a part of the executive Executive MBA program at the Bucharest Business School.”
