  Abstract:  
Designing and ESP course according to what students want and need. An analysis of students’ needs and expectations. Starting from the premise that, in designing a course of English for Specific Purposes, the language instructor should also check and take into account what students want, the purpose of this article is to present information about the proficiency and diagnostic test and the needs analysis questionnaire applied to some first-year students enrolled at the Faculty of European Studies within Babeș-Bolyai University. The findings of our study showed the needs and the problems of our students, and revealed that they want to improve their communication, grammar, and writing skills, but they also want the English course to be enjoyable and to focus on various specialised topics, not only on their specific field of study.

Keywords: initial test, needs analysis, questionnaire, ESP, course design, European Studies, skills.
