Summary/Abstract: The purpose of the study is to analyse the current problems and challenges of Hungarian language education policy in Romania in the context of the education policy of the European Union, respectively, the processes going on in the European Higher Education Area. In this sphere of thought, we briefly outline some of the consequences of the so-called “Bologna Process” regarding domestic higher education (and Hungarian minority higher education within it), after which we attempt to analyse the specific problems of Hungarian language university education. In the course of the latter inquiry, which is the larger part of our study, we intend to be mindful of both the national policy, demographic and minority aspects pertaining to the Transylvanian Hungarian minority and the higher education offer and institutional system in a qualified sense. Our analyses can obviously not ignore the “topos” of the independent Hungarian language state university either – its dilemmas and questions constitute the last thematic unit of our study.
