West University of Timişoara
The University was founded in 1944. By 1968, the institution had become an independent university, with a prestigious academic staff in all traditional fields. 1989, the year of the Romanian revolution, was a turning point in the evolution of the university. An essential mentality change took place in the perception of the academic institution, in accordance with the democratic institutions in Western Europe. A substantial institutional reform was carried out, beginning with the redefining of the university's mission by establishing its objectives. International par excellence, The West University of Timişoara has partnerships with over 100 universities worldwide. Student mobility is the foremost issue of these partnerships. Over the last twelve years, the University has responded to changes in national educational policy, to demographic shifts, to a radically different economy and marketplace requirements, to emerging local and regional needs, and to new technologies.
