• Admission in the context of demographic decline

The remarkable increase in the number of candidates comes in a difficult context for higher education, marked by a decrease of over 20% in Baccalaureate graduates in 2025. Nevertheless, FJSC manages to attract increased interest, which, according to the dean of the faculty, associate professor Dr. Romina Surugiu, reflects the strength and adaptability of the programs offered: "The growing number of candidates, in some specializations by approximately 50% higher from year to year, proves that we have consolidated and dynamic study programs, constantly adapting to the demands of students and the labor market."

Registration for master's programs in Romanian, English and French is open until Friday, July 18. FJSC offers master's degrees that cover a wide range of subfields of communication, journalism and advertising.

Founded on January 19, 1990, FJSC is part of the European Journalism Training Association (EJTA) and Theophraste - Reseau mondial francophone de centres de formation au journalisme networks, thus consolidating its status as a national leader in the field of communication sciences. The growing interest in the fields of communication, journalism and advertising confirms that young people are increasingly looking for relevant and current training, in a media landscape that is in constant transformation.
