Romania studies at Spiru Haret University

One of three students in Romania studies at Spiru Haret University, the largest private university in the country. But more than 100,000 students, recent and older graduates, could be left without their diplomas because the authorities dispute the quality of education provided by the institution. In all 311,928 students are currently pursuing a degree offered by Spiru Haret University, in one of the three forms of study offered: full-time, part-time, and distance learning. The size of the student body is impressive even by European standards: last year all universities in the UK, one of Europe's most active countries in marketing education, produced 335,000 graduates. Created in 1991 soon after the existence of private educational institutions was provided for in Romanian legislation (after the fall of state socialism in 1989), Spiru Haret got official authorisation to function in 2002. Since then, the student body has grown exponentially. The number of students enrolled this year is three times the number of graduates produced by the institution since it started. In 2007, Spiru Haret registered a profit of 30 million euros, making it one of the most lucrative businesses nationwide. The part-time and distance learning tracks are the most popular. The university currently has 49 distance learning and 47 part-time centres around the country. Students pay on average 500 euros a year, and there is usually no limit on the number of students, especially for the distance learning courses.
