At the end of this period in his life, he decided to continue his studies and in 1996 he was admitted at the National University of Music in Bucharest, at the class of conducting orchestra which was taught by university prelector doctor Dumitru Goia. In the same class he completed his master's degree studies. Moreover, the young conductor participated in mastery classes given by the well-known conductor Patrick Strub, organised by the Embassy of the Federal Republic of Germany in Chişinău.

Music and especially the univers of the cello have been part of Magdalena Moroşanu' life ever since the beginning. Thus, the decision to study this instrument seemed natural and her first steps in the musical world were at the 'Octav Băncilă' Art High School in Iaşi, in professor Dan Prelipcean's class, a member of the 'Voces' Quartet. After she received her licence at the National University of Music in Bucharest at professor Marin Cazacu's class, Magdalena Moroşanu started perfecting with the help of maestros from famous European music universities. Thus, the young cellist became the beneficiary of soloist diploma received at Neuchâtel, she also has a Lausanne concert diploma, at professor Patrick Demenga's class, and an orchestra musician diploma received at Gerd von Büllow's class in Rostock, Germany.
