Our story

Valentin POPA

Rector

I have the pleasant mission to present you one of the most dynamic higher education institutions in Eastern Europe, Stefan cel Mare University of Suceava (USV), located in Bukovina, a region in north-eastern Romania.

USV is an innovative and complex public higher education institution, which offers undergraduate, master’s, doctoral and post-doctoral programs and conducts scientific research in the fields of economics, technical sciences, engineering and computer science, natural sciences, humanities and health.

The first university in Romania in terms of the number of patents and inventions in the last decade, USV plays a key role in the development and dissemination of scientific knowledge. Since its establishment in 1963, our university has been a strong presence in a city of over 100,000 inhabitants, with a decisive contribution in building a modern identity for the local community, in the geopolitical context of regional development and cross-border relations between Romania, Ukraine and the Republic of Moldova.

After more than half a century of service to higher education in the city of Suceava, USV responds to the challenges of new bold projects with enthusiasm and responsibility, assuming its protective and rewarding role for countless academic performances, human models and moral landmarks that have undoubtedly contributed to the evolution and emancipation of national spirituality.

Once you arrive at USV in Bukovina, we hope you will rediscover the principles of an authentic life based on freedom, knowledge, morality, tolerance, responsibility, and excellence.
