In this context, our core objective is training economists, specialists in finance and banking: public finance, finance and financial management of enterprises and public institutions, international financial institutions, bank management, currency and credit and the like. We prepare them to work in various economic fields as banking, insurance and reinsurance, capital market, financial control, financial and banking expertise and the like. In close connection with the University s mission and with the aforementioned core objective, a fundamental objective remains consolidating the position of the Faculty of Finance and Banking within Spiru Haret University and within the faculties in the field nationwide, increased visibility and prestige as well as maintaining the top position earned over the ten years of work. In terms of teaching and learning we pay a special attention to delivering sound specialist knowledge and facilitating the development of the abilities to use the modern computer devices in processing statistical and financial and banking data (we have an impressive number of computers). To this end, we organize seminars and labs where students conduct diagnostic surveys, most of which leading to decision-making in the field. The good results obtained at faculty level are due primarily to the optimum conditions provided and, secondly to the academia s, students and Master candidates endeavours to achieve a high-level education in line with the highest demands. 3

4 Through the carefully chosen and well-structured subjects, the curriculum, resulting in stability and continuity as well as in flexibility and rapid adjustment to the current economic and social demands, is properly structured also in point of time allocation, enabling the meeting of the Faculty s objectives and mission in line with the European standards. The specific subjects and modules are chosen to match the Community Acquis demands, the European mechanisms and institutions presentation. Each subject comes with a properly structured and well-established syllabus (course outline). For every subject in the curriculum the students have textbooks and course books elaborated by the course coordinators as well as lab notebooks and problem collections necessary for training the future specialists in economics. All materials are issued by Romania de Maine Foundation Publishing House. Elaborated according to the curriculum and syllabus at a scientific level in line with the academic prestige and the authors reputation, such teaching and learning resources allow individual study either within the faculty s library, or at home. For the past year, part-time and distance learning study materials have bee edited for all the subjects covered in the curriculum. We mention that the curricula, syllabi and, implicitly, the textbooks are closely monitored with a view to adjust them to the Romanian and European labour market requirements. To this end, regular studies on the defining aspects of the domestic and international economic and social environment, in general, and of the labour market, in particular, are conducted with an emphasis on the future economist-financier acquiring the knowledge and developing the abilities required by the society and the economy. One of the concerns of the faculty management is practice. In this context, we mention that this fundamental component of the teaching and learning process is allotted a number of 90 hours in the 2 nd academic year. All students conduct practical work in the second semester. Usually, internship is organised in commercial banks as well as in other financial and banking and insurance institutions, the Faculty signing approximately 20 practice agreements to this end. The students advance and complete their practical training in the final year by attending the Financial and Banking Projects subject; on completion of the course, the students defend a research paper that requires sound practical knowledge. At Faculty and University levels, we have in place the transferable credit system, a modern system facilitating student mobility. 4

5 Such achievements are also the fruit of our academia s work, irrespective of the Chairs they belong to. Our professors, recognised as such in the academic world, are constantly concerned with successfully meeting the stated objectives and mission. Our own professors hired within Spiru Haret University are majority of the teaching staff. The University management is interested in selecting, attracting and training teaching staff from the graduates of the economic faculties. The good results of the students of the Faculty of Finance and Banking are largely due to our material resources. We mention here the modern building housing the Faculty Head Office, the lecture and seminar halls, the labs equipped with a high number of computers, modern library and the like. In this context, during lab and most seminar hours, each student can work on their computer, acquiring practical knowledge required in their profession. Moreover, it appears that we are one of the few universities having computer-assisted ongoing or annual testing in place. Having such advanced information technology, the University has its own website which houses the Faculty of Finance and Banking, Bucharest. Via the Internet, our students have access to the virtual library and they can establish a direct and permanent dialogue with their professors. We pay a special attention to research, both at student and academia level. To that effect, the annual events, which have become a tradition, enjoy a huge success and large, active and creative participation, the papers being published in national and foreign prestigious magazines as well as in the Annals of Spiru Haret University, Economic Series, with CNCSIS B+ indexation (CNCSIS - National Council for Scientific Research in Higher Education). At the same time, the Faculty management is concerned with developing own research programmes most of the time resulting in signing economic contracts with the interested beneficiaries or in their publication in national or foreign prestigious specialist magazines and in those issued by Romania de Maine Foundation Publishing House. The students must attend all the lectures, seminars and other activities, to do their assignments and to pass all ongoing tests as well as the final test. Given our constant concern with meeting the stated objectives, we provide our students the best conditions to acquire sound theoretical knowledge and develop practical abilities, such as: knowledge, understanding of the basic concepts, theories and methods of the field and area of specialisation; their proper use in career-related communication; 5
