ACADEMIC DISCIPLINARY SECTORS

The certificates issued by the Student Administration Office do not indicate the academic disciplinary sectors for the following curricula:

Curriculum code 165 – students first enrolled from 1994/1995 to 1998/1999

Curriculum code 261 – students first enrolled from 1999/2000 to 2000/2001

Both curricula (165 and 261) predate Ministerial Decree 509/99.

ECTS credits did not exist and therefore cannot be officially certified.

The number of teaching hours can be determined from the table in the previous section.

Brief regulatory framework:

  • Law 341/1990, Art. 14: “courses are grouped into academic disciplinary sectors on the basis of criteria of scientific and educational homogeneity”;
  • the academic disciplinary sectors were redefined by Ministerial Decree of 04/10/2000;
  • under Ministerial Decree No. 855 of 30 October 2015, academic disciplinary sectors are grouped into competition macro-sectors and competition sectors (as provided for by Article 15 of Law No. 240 of 30 December 2010).

 

Table of Academic Disciplinary Sectors aligned with the Ministerial Decree of 04/10/2000.
