The Deans Message

The Faculty of Letters is one of the founding faculties in Alexandru Ioan Cuza University, the oldest higher education institution in Romania. During its long existence, it has made a name for itself in the expertise of teaching generations of students. At the same time our teachers efforts have had a share in our students high academic national and international achievements. If until not long ago, our graduates were qualified to hold mainly teaching positions, nowadays our educational offer is set up to meet the demands and challenges of a changing world: students may also choose to become journalists, specialists in communication sciences, translators or interpreters, researchers in the philological field. Many students make a choice of Letters because they have always had a liking for philological sciences; others have strong doubts about it and just give it a try. Most of them choose to stay because they have known from the very beginning they will make it to the end, others find out they can do it and decide to continue their studies. The Faculty of Letters offers equal chances to students keen on reading, linguistic research, journalism or translations, in other words to all those who believe that the Romanian school, culture and civilisation need humanists passionately fond of their profession and our inspiring traditions. Our goal is to equip you with both the skills and self-confidence to begin your journey. We truly hope that by reviewing these expectations, you will commit yourselves to the values of our culture and to the academic mission of our Faculty and University.
