ROMANIA – THROUGH THE EYES OF THE FRENCH GRADUATE STUDENTS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MEDICINE AND PHARMACY IULIU HATIEGANU

Summary/Abstract: Iuliu-Haţieganu University of Medicine and Pharmacy from Cluj-Napoca educates foreign students for a medical career. This paper aims to analyze the perception of French native speakers graduates on Romania and on the Romanian society. The balance is designed as a questionnaire with open and closed questions. The themes are addressed gradually, from geographic, linguistic, cultural and socio-cultural perspectives. At the heart of the survey is the student - as a social actor. From a geographic point of view, the retrospective look of the graduate remembers the places that impressed him/her due to the specific landforms, those that were part of a travel itinerary or those full of subjective experiences. The Romanian language is seen as a means of socio-cultural integration. Its knowledge (written and spoken) is necessary both in particular contexts (university, hospital environment, so on), as well as in the general ones (the understanding of the Romanian collective mentality). Habits and traditions are known due to the intercultural dialogue between Romanian/French-Romanian students and French students. Stereotypes about Romanian culture are removed following interaction and practical observation. Romania is a good training environment, both professionally and personally.
