| Summary: | We face a period of profound changes in our society, changes that will have effects on education. Today, universities abroad focus on practical things, while in Romania the basis remains the theory. The West European or American higher education institution (HEI) emphasize on dual specializations, internships, business partnerships, and encourage creativity. Abroad, students can get substantial scholarships or have the guarantee of a well-paid job after graduation. In this context, can we give a new face and adapt the higher education system in Romania, in particular in the case of the University of Petrosani, by implementing the hybrid education and developing new applied specializations in collaboration with business partners? We will try to give the answer to this question in this paper.
