University POLITEHNICA of Bucharest is the oldest and most prestigious engineering school in Romania. Its traditions are related to the establishment in 1818 by Gheorghe Lazar, of the first technical school with teaching in Romanian.
UPB assumes the mission to train specialists in different technical fields, able to use valuable scientific, technical and cultural-humanistic knowledge, to contribute to the technological, economic and socio-cultural progress of the Romanian society and of the contemporary world. UPB ensures the achievement of a performance education, developed and perfected through a complex research activity, continuing the tradition of the Polytechnic School of Bucharest, in accordance with the exigencies and the means offered by the modern informational society.
UPB's mission has been thought over as a blend of education, research and innovation, which represents a key towards a knowledge-based society and economy. Creating knowledge mainly by scientific research, giving it out by education and professional training, disseminating it by information technologies, as well as the use of technological innovation are elements that define the university distinctive profile.
The engineering profession has continuously transformed and adapted itself to the new demands of the society, but being an engineer, a person who knows and is able to make life more comfortable, has remained unchanged.
Established by Royal Decree on April 6, 1913, at the initiative of Nicolae D. Xenopol, the Minister of Industry and Commerce, and of a group of young economists who had attended leading universities from Germany, France and England, the Academy of High Commercial and Industrial Studies was the first economic higher education institution established in Romania.
The Bucharest University of Economic Studies is and wishes to remain the most prestigious institution of higher economic and public administration education in Romania and to rank amongst the top universities in Europe, as regards the content and modernity of the teaching and learning process, the dynamism of innovation, the implication in strategic partnerships with representatives of the national and international economic and social environment.
