EXCELLENCE IN HIGHER EDUCATION
The University of Petroșani has a long and beautiful tradition, being the successor of the “School of Bridges and Roads, Mining and Architecture” that has been operating in Bucharest since 1864, and since 1948 in Petroșani, initially under the name of the Coal Institute.
After 1990, by diversifying the university fields and specializations, the Mining Institute of Petroșani became the Technical University (1991) and later the University of Petroșani (1995).
Based on this strong academic tradition and the prestige it enjoys at home and abroad, our University today provides the necessary conditions for its students to acquire a high qualification in many and varied fields, training in all forms of education. The training of specialists is carried out in three faculties: the Faculty of Mining, the Faculty of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering and the Faculty of Science.
Since 1948, more than 40,000 engineers, sub-engineers, economists, sociologists, mathematicians and teachers have graduated from the University of Petroșani.
More than 3,200 students, master’s and doctoral students are trained in our University, with the support of more than 140 teaching staff. Doctoral training is provided by 30 scientific supervisors who are nationally and internationally recognised personalities. The solid training acquired by the graduates enabled them to adapt and integrate quickly to working conditions and methods in other countries such as the USA, Canada, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Israel, as well as in other continents such as South America, Africa and Asia. Everywhere, graduates from the University of Petroșani are rated among the top professionals in their fields.
