UGAL

“Dunarea de Jos” University of Galati (DJUG), the oldest higher education institution in the South East region of Romania, with a tradition recognised in multiple domains and an identity legitimated by the actual configuration of all the study and research domains, represents:
• a university which assumes the mission to continue the Romanian higher education training tradition through quality higher education, an efficient learning process, competitive scientific research, but also through quality services provided to the community and the contribution to ensuring general, specific and attitudinal competences of their graduates, in view of developing exceptional professional personalities and an efficient social insertion;
• a university with its own patrimony and an infrastructure which is adequate for research;
• a university whose international cooperation has not only presupposed simple activities like mobilities, but complex ones also (in terms of curricula harmonization, scientific titles obtained abroad, etc.), a university which has not restricted its collaboration to participation in international activities, but has functioned as an important international interest centre itself.
