Romanian Higher Education-Present and Perspectives
Romanian Higher Education-Present and Perspectives

Summary/Abstract: This paper aims to present the current state of Romanian higher education, based on statistical data on trends and number of student population and staff. The latest developments in the Bologna process are analyzed, with a special focus on international students’ mobility. Based on demographic projection, the paper also reflects the perspectives of Romanian higher education at the 2025 horizon. Statistics reveal an unseen development of Romanian higher education, in terms of number of students and an increasing international cooperation, but the perspectives are more pessimistic. Demographic trends will have a crucial impact on higher education. Romanian universities apply fairly passive policies which reflect adjustment to current demographic situation rather than anticipation of changes to come. Obviously, combining the two approaches would be an optimum solution.
