Babes-Bolyai University is in many ways – even according to some international criteria – the largest and most comprehensive higher education institution in Romania. Nearly 40000 students in bachelor, master and doctoral study programmes are enrolled in 21 faculties and 12 academic extensions distributed throughout Transylvania. Multiculturalism is one of the core pillars of UBB.
We provide education along three lines of study (Romanian, Hungarian, German) and also offer programmes and courses in other languages like English and French. The above three lines of study are autonomous, are organized at each level (department, faculty, university) and represented at all levels. UBB hosts Italian, Polish, Chinese, Russian, English, Austrian, Portuguese, Korean and other cultural centres, libraries and institutes. Another dimension of the UBB is the multiconfessionalism, in keeping with Transylvanian realities. Within UBB coexist the Faculties of Orthodox Theology, of Greek Catholic Theology, of Protestant Theology and of Roman Catholic Theology along with the `Dr. Moshe Carmilly` Institute for Hebrew and Jewish History.
