Reasons for choosing postgraduate programmes:

the Romanian legislation is rather inflexible, allowing for little adjustment, and the process of accreditation is more

complex with respect to Master programmes in comparisonto postgraduate courses.

postgraduate programmes ensure real professionalrefreshment and graduates are allowed to be employed inpositions corresponding to the newly-acquiredcompetences, as stated by the Romanian legislation
