One such relevant criterion is the quality of the graduates, most often measurable in the employability and level of competitiveness and salary of the graduates. The labor market, whether we mean private companies or the non-profit sector, researchers and teachers or practitioners of any kind, is the place of impersonal competition where the best and most efficient graduates are hired and paid accordingly. From our perspective, the comparison by fields of employability and salaries is the only ranking that cannot be disputed because it measures results and not means”, noted prof. Marian Preda, Phd, Rector of the University of Bucharest.
