University of Bucharest

Bucharest, Romania

The University of Bucharest is in Bucharest. Its English history page states that on 4/16 July 1864 it was created by bringing together the Faculties of Law, Sciences and Letters. The page gives two different decree numbers for that date, so neither number is repeated here. The same page dates an earlier Academy of Saint Sava to 1694. That is not the year used here for the university. A line on the page for the year 2000 lists 19 faculties and over 30,000 students. That line is a snapshot for that year, not a current figure. The page does not state a tuition fee.
