Faculty of Biology at University of Bucharest

An essential factor is the contribution that the faculty has made in the development of the highly dynamic fields of biology and environmental science, even more so now, in this century of expanding knowledge about biology. This is put into practice through a large number of research projects, whose essential objective is to attract and involve students from the basic programme and especially MA and Ph.D. students. One of the main areas is the development of the infrastructure and the implementation of the research, supported by inter-, multi- and trans-disciplinary approaches. The promotion and consolidation of the postgraduate programmes, closely connected to the development of the infrastructure and of the research activities, is a longterm strategic objective of the faculty, integrated with the reform and development programme of the University of Bucharest.
