Abstract

Modern universities are experiencing constant changes which are extremely meaningful nowadays. These changes reflect on the further directions of the management education development in a broad context. This paper presents the results of research on the condition of management education in the students’ perception. The methodology of this research was inspired by ethnography and based on anthropological interviews (12 conducted with first-year students and 13 with last-year students). They pointed out some university domains insufficiently supervised by the academic authoriti es both financially and mentally. The conclusions presented in the text are based on the expectations of students confronted with the current situation. They clearly indicate a gap in the educational system which is based mainly on the turnover of the traditional university values.
