International Relations

The Centre for International Relations is the pacesetter for the internationalisation strategy of 1 Decembrie 1918 University of Alba Iulia, developed in cooperation with and endorsed by the university management for the current mandate (2012-2016). The main tenets of this strategy are construed along the following lines: extending the international dimension of research activities, and teaching/learning processes, raising intercultural and plurilingual awareness, and active involvement in social and corporate governance.

Senior Lecturer Teodora IORDACHESCU, Ph.Ed.Director of the Centre for International Relations

We actively foster the mobility of teachers and students and we continuously extend our cooperation with institutions worldwide, either through bilateral agreements or collaborating in different types of networks (Association of Carpathian Regional Universities, Consortium in Humanities, European Network for Intercultural Education Activities, etc.).

Besides cooperation with EU HEIs, there are 15 bilateral agreements with third country universities, with whom we develop collaborative activities within education and research programmes, such as: co-organising thematic conferences, co-publishing periodical volumes of conference proceedings and peer-reviewed academic journals. We have already established successful joint PhD programmes, and we are looking into new vistas offered by EU programmes, such as Tempus or Erasmus Mundus. Moreover, we are currently expanding our focus on countries outside Europe, especially Asia.

For international students, our university provides a one-year programme in Romanian as a Foreign Language (Preparatory Year).
