Sapientia University

The Sapientia Hungarian University of Transylvania was established in 2001 as an independent higher education institution in Romania, with the aim of providing tertiary education in Hungarian language. The University was created with the support of the Hungarian Government and it is functioning in three different towns: Miercurea Ciuc, Târgu-Mureș and Cluj-Napoca. Each of the three study centres has a distinctive profile, yet they form a uniform university structure. Sapientia University is an institution promoting high quality education and competitiveness, striving to meet international standards and aiming to prepare professionals able to assert themselves following their graduation, either at home or in any country of the European community. In compliance with Romanian accreditation requirements, the Sapientia University began to conduct its activities on the basis of a provisional licence. As a result of a multistage accreditation process, the Romanian Agency for Quality Assurance in Higher Education accredited the Institution in the summer of 2010; the accreditation process was completed on 28th of February 2012 with a political decision by the Chamber of Deputies and by the Senate of Romania.
