On 9 November this year, Cluj-Napoca will host the graduation ceremony for the second cohort of the University of Hull EMBA in Romania. The event will bring together alumni, current participants and programme partners to celebrate the success of the only 100% British Executive MBA in Romania.

To mark our participants’ achievement, we will hold an official graduation ceremony, streamed live on our Facebook page, followed in the evening by a networking event. Attendance at both is by invitation only. From the University of Hull, Claire Hookham Williams, Associate Dean of the Business School, and Nick Snowden, MBA Programme Director, will be present. In July this year, some of the graduates also attended the graduation ceremony held by the University of Hull on its UK campus.

The second graduating class, made up of 21 managers and entrepreneurs from Romania, will join the University of Hull EMBA’s global alumni community of over 28,000 members across 150 countries. The degree is international, awarded by the University of Hull.

The British business school was launched in Cluj-Napoca in 2015, in partnership with: Babes-Bolyai University, the University of Hull, the Technical University of Cluj-Napoca, Banca Transilvania and Electrogrup. The programme is accredited internationally by The Association of MBAs and The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business. Currently, more than 50 Romanian and international managers and entrepreneurs, from senior and middle management, are studying on the University of Hull EMBA.
