Romanian Agency for Quality Assurance in Higher Education evaluates, on demand or on its own initiative, the higher education providers and study programmes. This paper presents the results of a large-scale survey on the perception of the Romanian students in the field of Economic Sciences on the quality of the educational programs they follow. The themes covered are: the teaching resources, the educational process, the evaluation and communication, the teaching and learning, the infrastructure, the learning outcomes and the relevance for the labor market. Using a large sample of 8120 respondents, the results show that in general the perceptions are quite positive with scores between 8 and 9, on a range from 1 to 10. We identified differences between students by their seniority, by specific universities and their admission grades.
