Interdisciplinary research

The 12 buildings of the Institute host modern research infrastructure and benefit from high energy autonomy. It comprises 30 research centres in well-established and emerging fields with high innovative potential. Through its research projects, Transilvania University of Brașov aims at becoming a strategic partner for companies and a pole of excellence in national and international academic cooperation.
International students
The university has academic partnerships with 80 countries all over the world. Every year, hundreds of students from our university have the chance to experience academic life abroad for 6 months or even a full year. Our university’s academic offer, especially the English-taught programs – Business Administration, Automotive Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Computer Science, Philology and Cultural Studies – and the German-taught programme in Applied Computer Science, attract hundreds of international students every year.
The international students are offered intensive classes in the Romanian language designed so as to enable their linguistic and cultural integration into the Romanian society.

The scholarship covers full tuition costs and basic living expenses.
UNITBV in the community. Partnerships with companies
Relying on our strong relationship with institutions from various fields, our students can participate in training and internship programmes.
Several bachelor's and master's degree programmes have emerged from the cooperation with big companies from the automotive and aeronautics industries. The curricula of these study programmes have been designed with the help of specialists from these companies.
AFCO
Every year, as part of the AFCO conference, the university facilitates meetings between students and companies’ representatives. The best graduation papers are awarded prizes and their authors stand real chances of being noticed by prospective employers.
COMPANIES’ PODIUM
The Companies’ Podium is the meeting place of specialists from various professional areas with students, researchers and professors, a space created in cooperation with the university’s main partners from the economic environment. It provides opportunities for projects and joint activities (BA projects, research projects, practice stage and internship programmes, educational activities, private scholarships, competitions for students), but it also informs about job offers in the partner companies.
UNITBV in the community. Social responsibility
The university runs programmes meant to contribute to the stimulation and intellectual development of school and high school students in Brașov.

Students coming from foster homes and placement centres are fully financed for their studies by the university. A special scholarship is dedicated to students coming from the St. Joseph foster home in Odorheiu Secuiesc.
