The present article is based on a research on economic students’ comfort degree regarding the experience of being taught in English. The survey was addressed to 150 1st year students within The Faculty of Accounting and Management Information, the Bucharest University of Economic Studies that are taught the whole academic program (6 courses and 7 seminars) in English. Although most of the surveyed students have a C1 level of English, our target was to find out the challenges of an academic program in English, whether there are any communication barriers, how comfortable surveyed students feel about being taught in English, taking into account the fact that the subjects that they study are economic ones, therefore they operate with lots of specialized terms and expressions which may unfavorably impact students’ comprehension. The present paper represents only a starting point for the research of this topic and our intention is to expand it and eventually approach it from the professors’ perspective in order to get a comprehensive view of our research topic.
