Summary/Abstract: The paper aims to examine the multilingual requirements and opportunities arising in 21st-century higher education, in general, and in the case of Romania. After providing a brief description of key concepts and trends in the internationalization of higher education both at the international and national level, the paper focuses on a selection of Romanian universities to exemplify their efforts in this respect, by referring to the internationalization aspects they target, the multilingual opportunities they offer for students, as well as their efforts regarding the internationalization of research undertaken by their academic communities. Throughout the paper, we refer to the need for proficiency in foreign languages, which underpins all and any efforts towards enhancing internationalization.
