Babeș-Bolyai University
Babeş-Bolyai University is a dynamic, but also a traditional institution, with deep roots in Central Europe and strong international academic ties. Located in Cluj-Napoca, Transylvania, a European province with a complex history, Babeş-Bolyai University is the crowning achievement of a long series of attempts to establish here a higher education institution. It is the largest Romanian university (with more than 49.000 students and 3.000 faculty staff), situated at the confluence of the Eastern and Western cultures. The University lays considerable stress on foreign language skills and on educational programmes in widely spoken languages, therefore it provides a wide range of internationally competitive BA, MA and Ph.D. programmes in English, German or French.
