We are committed to creating a deeper understanding of the global business environment through connected thinking, and how to apply this knowledge locally, in one of the most diverse cities in Romania: Cluj-Napoca. With this mission in mind, we continue to develop our international partnerships and strengthen the ones which bring value to our community.
The educational partnership with Buckingham University offered us the opportunity to build something new and custom-made for the business community here in Romania and we are proudly celebrating the success of the Executive MBA programme with a new cohort starting the modules next week. The 20 places open for this cohort were claimed by talented leaders ready to learn and develop their critical thinking skills.
The phrase of the year that brings both Buckingham University and Transilvania Executive Education under a common trajectory is intellectual stimulation. In 2022, Buckingham University found itself in the national (UK) top 10 ranking for providing intellectually stimulating courses for its students. Additionally, the Good University Guide of The Sunday Times and The Times puts Buckingham University in the top 10 in England for teaching quality and graduate prospects.
The New Executive MBA cohort is to start on the 11th of February
The University of Buckingham issued an official statement welcoming the ninth cohort of students in Cluj and a note on the educational partnership between Transilvania Executive Education and the University:
“The University of Buckingham is excited to welcome a new cohort of students onto the validated Executive Masters of Business Administration degree taught at Transilvania Executive Education (TEE). In this programme, students will deepen their understanding of the global business environment through connected thinking and apply this knowledge locally, in one of the most diverse cities in Romania: Cluj-Napoca. Buckingham recognises the high quality of teaching provided by TEE and the expertise of their staff to be comparable with the internationally recognised standard of UK higher education. With excellent business links and input from key industry experts, this programme is a fantastic way for students to build on their business expertise. Buckingham wishes the new cohort great success in their studies and we look forward to seeing them unlock their hidden potential!” declares Chris Maskell, Collaborations Manager at The University of Buckingham.
On the 11th of February, two representatives from Buckingham University will be present in Cluj-Napoca for the Induction module to welcome the new Executive MBA cohort.
