About

Public health is about improving people's lives through the research we conduct and the professionals we train to carry out that mission. At the Department of Public Health, we believe that meaningful impact comes from bridging the gap between evidence and action. Our work spans classrooms, communities, and policy-making offices, connecting rigorous research with real-world change.

In an age when information is everywhere, and artificial intelligence can answer almost any question, you might wonder what a university can still offer. The answer is simple: knowledge is not the same as judgment. We teach our students to think critically, question sources, collaborate across disciplines, and apply evidence ethically in complex, real-world situations. And we go beyond the classroom: one in three of our students is actively involved in research, and through our network of practicum partners, they apply what they learn in real professional settings. These experiences, such as working alongside researchers, engaging with communities, and solving problems that matter, cannot be replicated by a screen.

Since becoming Romania's first English-taught undergraduate program in public health in 2015, we have grown into a vibrant community of scholars, practitioners, and future leaders working alongside partners across Europe and beyond.

Whether you are a prospective student, researcher, or partner, I invite you to explore what we do and consider how we might work together toward healthier communities in Romania and globally.
