West University of Timisoara (WUT) hosts 11 Faculties, 12 Doctoral Schools and tens of advanced research centers, but if your’re wondering about something that makes it special compared to others, rest assured, there are many many things you will find here that are unique. One of them is the fact that we take interdisciplinarity to a new level in the educational process by means of transversal courses, a unique initiative in the Romanian educational system. These courses allow students to pursue one course per semester throughout their studies from a different subject area than the one they are enrolled in, thus promoting a more comprehensive approach to personal and professional development. Moreover, developing entrepreneurial, intercultural and excellence-driven research abilities for our students are complementary objectives to all our study programmes.
Our international study programmes at Bachelor and Masters level, taught in English, French or German, range from International Corporate Finance to International Development and Management of Global Affairs, and from Big Data to Theater. We also offer globally oriented intensive study programmes such as the West University of Timisoara Late Summer School, a unique opportunity to get to know all our faculties through attending courses from their respective subject areas.
Last, but not least, as Timişoara will become Cultural Capital of Europe in 2023, with WUT being an important partner in many of the activities connected to this endeavor, we strongly believe that the socio-cultural dimension of a European University would benefit from our contribution in this sense. Timişoara is not only a cosmopolitan city highly connected to the rest of Europe, but also the city with the highest internet speed in the world. Studying here, thus, can benefit students in many different ways. Moreover, the university has a modern and fully-equipped library and the student campus is located in the heart of the city and is in itself an attraction, with many opportunities for leisure and living.
