The Faculty admission procedure. The first selection criteria: ‘Admission average’ or the ‘Candidate option’?

Abstract

The paper presents a comparison (based on a specific situation simulation) between the two admission procedures used in the ’Transilvania” University of Brasov for candidates wanting to enroll in its study programs. Both the simulation and the presented example (regarding the learning programs of the Faculty of Economic Sciences and Business Administration), aim at finding an answer to the following question: which selection criteria are best suited for the current learning market conditions: the admission average or the candidate option for a specific learning program?
