*Alexandru Ioan Cuza University
(Exchange Program)
(Outgoing Program)
Established in 1860 as the University of Iasi, Alexandru Ioan Cuza University is the oldest university in Romania, just one year younger than the Romanian state itself. Initially composed of three colleges (Philosophy, Law, and Theology), the university
is now made up of fifteen faculties ranging from the Faculty of Business to the Faculty of Roman Catholic Theology to the Faculty of Computer Science. Gaining an international reputation for excellence before World War II, the postwar Soviet occupation imposed formal constraints on ideological freedom and contact with the West, but faculty strived to maintain their academic standards in the face of Soviet restrictions.
Twenty-five years after the fall of the USSR, Alexandru Ioan Cuza University has continued to strengthen its reputation for international excellence. With just over 25,000 students (including around 500 international students), the university leads the nation in research and education and participates in several international exchanges.
Location
Romania is located between Central Europe and Southeastern Europe. Romania is the eighth largest country in the European Union. Iasi is one of the largest cities in Romania. Iasi has traditionally been one of the leading centres of Romanian social, cultural, academic and artistic life. Iasi is known as the cultural capital of Romania and serves as a symbol of Romanian history.
