Summary/Abstract: This article is structured in two parts: one approaching the education process in Romania from a theoretical and statistical perspective and another that is based on the results of an empirical research, performed among 423 students, in order to know the extent to which they are integrated in the present higher education environment. Our country has a Strategy for education and professional building for the period 2016-2020 that reflects the requirements of the national context and its links with the normative framework of the European Union. At the basis of this strategy, there is a certain vision that comprises specific objectives and action directions, costs estimations and monitoring mechanisms for the implementation of the strategic education programme. Our article underlines the main strategic objectives in the education field, which are being analysed through several administrative indicators. Moreover, it exposes the students’ opinions and appraisals, their expectations concerning the teachers, some services of the academic administration, the higher education environment as a whole etc. The field research revealed their intentions about taking a job in the country or abroad, as well as their preferences towards certain professions.
