University of Bucharest – known as UB in Romania – was founded in 1864 and is the second oldest university in the country. According to the Worldwide University Rankings from 2012, UB is in the top 700. It has a remarkable history behind it, being the centre of anti-communist protests in 1990. The area surrounding it was the home of many riots during the Romanian Revolution of 1989. Despite the historical events, University of Bucharest managed to maintain its high position in the educational system.Show more
I studied at the University of Bucharest, and my experience was generally positive. Some professors were very knowledgeable and encouraged critical thinking, especially in applied psychology courses, which I found engaging and useful.
On the downside, administrative processes could be slow and sometimes unclear. The university doesn’t have a traditional campus, but its central location offers access to many cultural and social opportunities.
Overall, it’s a good choice for students who are proactive and independent.

On the downsides the students are not well kept up to date on most things, it’s tough to communicate with the administration for more particular inquiries.
View moreMy time at the University of Bucharest was genuinely one of the most enriching experiences of my life. The faculty in the Faculty of Letters were incredibly knowledgeable and always willing to engage in deeper discussions beyond the curriculum. The historic campus in the heart of the city made studying feel special, and the vibrant student community made it easy to form lasting friendships. The only downside was the occasional bureaucratic hurdle when dealing with administrative offices, but that’s a small price to pay for an otherwise excellent education.

As a student, I needed career guidance, which I didn’t receive at all, especially because in Romania is hard to find a good job after you finish college. The conditions in college and the campus life were not the best either.
View moreI’m taking classes on linguistics, literature and folklore both in Romanian and in English at the Faculty of Letters, at The University of Bucharest. If you love continuous learning and an interdisciplinary approach, then you’ll love it here. So far, I’ve studied the culture, history, politics and arts of both the United Stated and England for a better understanding of their literature and linguistic development. I’ve done the same for the Romanian language, but I’ve also learned about the Romanian folklore: amulets, vampires, spells, divination are only some of the topics that we’ve discussed. Personally, the folklore aspect is really interesting and it helps you to save time, because the syllabus is extremely well curated for a good understanding of the subject. The only downturn there could be for this study degree is probably the fact that there are just so many things to read about and study and so little time, that sometimes you just skim the surface and never get to get into the real topic.
