The FACULTY OF APPLIED SCIENCES AND ENGINEERING was set up by the Romanian Government Resolution No 866/21.10.1999 and the present name was established by the Romanian Government Resolution No 493/2013. Actually, the faculty carries on a tradition which started in 1961 with a study programme named “Physics & Chemistry” followed in 1977 by the programme “Petroleum Processing and Petrochemistry”. The present structure of the Faculty was approved by the Romanian Government Resolution No 749/24.06.2009, all the courses being either accredited or authorized.

The CHEMISTRY course coaches specialists in Chemistry, able to adapt to the market economy requirements, prepared to perform in research laboratories, in industrial chemistry and petrochemistry laboratories and also in teaching activity.

The course FOOD CHEMISTRY AND BIOCHEMICAL TECHNOLOGIES means a necesity imposed by the present and by the ocupational prospect at the regional and at the national level. This programme produces graduates equipped to make an important contribution to the food industry.

The master degree programme CHEMISTRY AND MANAGEMENT OF CONSUMPTION GOODS AND ENVIRONMENT QUALITY ensures the deepening of knowledge in the quality of goods (food of animal and vegetal origin, detergents, cosmetics) and environment.

The course PETROLEUM PROCESSING AND PETROCHEMISTRY produces Chemical Engineers according to the European standards, specialized in the oil and gas processing and petrochemistry, including transportation, storing and specific laboratory analyses.

The master degree programme TECHNOLOGIES AND MANAGEMENT IN PETROLEUM PROCESSING addresses to the local and national work market in energy industry and ensures advanced knowledge in petroleum processing, also providing knowledge for management positions.

The studies programme PHYSICS offers to graduates a general coaching in Physics and detailed knowledge of topical interest, such as Physics of Materials in Condensed State, Nuclear Physics and Physics of Plasma.

The programme TECHNOLOGICAL PHYSICS offers to graduates a general coaching in Physics and detailed knowledge in Physics, Technology and Safety of Nuclear Reactors. The programme provides a complete coaching in order to meet the demands of workplaces in industry (e.g. nuclear power plants) or in research.

The programme APPLIED ELECTRONICS offers knowledge of the concepts, theories and methods specifically to the industrial and medical electronics, microcontrollers and microprocessors, industrial processes software, sensors and transducers, communication systems, data acquisition, power electronics, television, robotics etc; also, the graduates are offered training for the following jobs: Electronics, transport and telecommunications engineer; Electronics designer engineer; Control engineer; Sound engineer; Production engineer; Image engineer; Car report chief engineer; Communications designer engineer; Security systems engineer; Security Officer; Applied electronics research engineer; Applied electronics researcher; Programmer; Computer network manager; Communications researcher; Researcher in Electronics.

The master degree programme PHYSICS AND TECHNOLOGY OF CONDENSED MATTER addresses especially to graduates in Physics and Applied Engineering but the graduates of Mathematics, Chemistry, Electronics are also welcome, provided that they have solid knowledge of Physics.

The master degree programme THE ENGINEERING OF SYSTEMS WITH RENEWABLE ENERGY RESOURCES, in the area of Civil Engineering, is conducted by the Institute for Nanotechnologies and Alternative Energy Sources. It is part of the regional project “BSUN Joint Master Degree Study Program on the Management of Renewable Energy Sources – ARGOS”, in the frame of the Operational Program “Black Sea Basin 2007-2013”, with the goal to promote joint programs of regional cooperation having in view the development of Black Sea region. The project is carried out in partnership with the Technical University of Moldova, the Technical University of Varna, the National University Taurida (Ukraine), the Technical University of Istanbul and E.N.E.A. (the National Agency for New Technologies, Energy and Sustainable Development, Italy). The project’s budget makes provisions for the harmonization of the curriculum and mobilities of teaching staff and students. Also, the programme was selected as prioritary in the frame of the initiative “United Nations Academic Impact”.
