In order to access a Romanian academic performance at European level, it is necessary to reconsider integrated management within certain limits described by the Bologna Process. Although it has been over 15 years since the signing of the 1999 Bologna Declaration, we are still far away from being visible in the European Higher Education Area. On the basis of Law no. 288/2004, starting with the academic year 2005-2006, the organization of higher education started on the three cycles of study. In this context, we must pay more attention to issues such as student-centered learning, promoting a quality culture in universities adapted to the labor market needs and, last but not the least, promoting a true partnership between the academic community and students, especially in terms of student involvement in decisions regarding the organization and content education. All these aspects must be systematically considered beyond the logistical investment needs in the Romanian university infrastructure. Starting from the premise that the Bologna Process facilitates the mobility of students, graduates and academic staff in the European space, it prepares students for career and active citizens life involved in society, being a support for personal development, the case study aims to highlight the impact of new regulations in European higher education in the student community of Faculty Engineering from Hunedoara.
