Communication And Multicultural Higher Education In Economics And Business Management

We have conducted a sociological survey on the Economics and Business Management students from a large Romanian north-west university, where academic instruction is offered in various languages, structured by lines of study.Our survey focuses on the quality of communication and the problems encountered in the educational process from students’ point of view, as well as on the differences in the perception of various categories of students. Relying on these findings, our goal is to determine means of improving the academic material provided to students, teachers’ methods and behaviour, with a view to equip students with a high level of competence.In this stage of our research, we have pinpointed the differences in the quality of teacher – student communication, as perceived by the final-year Master’s students from the 4 lines of study: Romanian, English, Hungarian and German.The comparative analysis based on the responses to a questionnaire designed by the authors is supplemented with data provided by the “portraits of several university members who teach the 4 lines of study.
