The Bachelor’s degree study program in Romanian Language and Literature – English Language and Literature has a history that overlaps with that of the 3-year Pedagogical Institute (established in the 1960s and setting up the future establishment, in 1994, of the University of Târgu Mureș, with its successive names – The Technical University/ The “Petru Maior” University of Târgu Mureș). Among its assets are the tradition spanning over half a century as well as the prestige generated over time by its graduates and faculty. Since 1990, hundreds of teachers, journalists, literary critics, translators, researchers, and even diplomats (including at the UN) have been trained here, benefiting from an engaging and dynamic academic environment, with the effective removal of barriers between masters and disciples. This is complemented by the vibrancy of leading literary journals (“Vatra,” “Studia Universitatis Petru Maior. Philologia”), extensive conferences, conventions and seminars that have placed its home city on the intellectual map of Romanian humanism.
