The Romanian Universities will raise the number of places available to tax free studies in the following year to 62.000, by 6.500. The most generous offer comes from technical domains.
Engineering, physics and chemistry are the “luckiest” domains after sorting the tax-free places in universities and will continue to have a privileged position in the following years, said officials of the Minister of Education, Research and Youth (MECT).
“Engineering and sciences lile physics and chemistry are becoming less and less attractive because of the difficult specializations. A society cannot evolve without them”, said Ion Ciuca, head of the Universitary Management of MECT.
There are exceptions though. Bucharest’s Polytechnics, the largest University of its profile in Romania has the same number of graduates (4750). “We would have needed an increase because of the increasing demand of engineers in the work market and the Minister is obliged to regulate the offer. While almost everyone has turned to social sciences, the engineering segment is stuck in the state’s system”, says Ecaterina Andronescu, former Minister of Education and Chancellor of Bucharest’s Polytechnic.
Also the total number of bachelor degrees will be doubled to 34.871 in the following year. This measure was taken as two promotions will graduate this year, both the students that follow four years of faculty and the so called “Bologna promotion” from the new educational system of three years before graduation.
