Teaching regional development courses and seminars to different university specializations in Romania

Summary/Abstract: It has occurred to me, as a master graduate of regional development specialization, and later on, as a PhD graduate in economics and currently as a PhD assistant, that regional development is a discipline that is engaged in many specializations from different faculties in various universities: political sciences, economic sciences, socio-humanistic sciences, juridical and administrative sciences, international relations sciences. Moreover, courses and seminars focusing on regional development policy mark a personal orientation of students towards a possible career in this field, correlated with the possibility of continuing the studies through research at doctoral level, with the same high interest for deepening the analysis of the regional development disparities, by becoming more and more aware of the gap between urban and rural areas. Regional development is also a learning topic for public and civil servants. The objective of the paper is to reveal different ways of teaching regional development, suggestions and recommendations of organizing a course or seminar to different faculty specializations, according to specific curriculums.
