”Gheorghe Asachi” Technical University of Iași (TUIASI), in strategic partnership with the University “G. d’Annunzio” of Chieti–Pescara (Ud’A), Italy, offers a prestigious double degree master’s programme as part of the INGENIUM European alliance. This initiative provides an academically rigorous and internationally validated path for students aiming to thrive in a global engineering landscape.
Candidate Profile
The programme is open to students officially enrolled in the Rehabilitation and Safety Increase of Constructions master’s programme at TUIASI. Applicants must demonstrate a minimum B2 level of English proficiency, verified through an internationally recognized certificate or an institutional online interview.
Selection is based on an internal annual call and is conducted by a faculty-appointed academic committee according to transparent and merit-based evaluation criteria.
Academic Framework and Mobility
The programme spans two academic years (120 ECTS credits) and encompasses:
- Courses are conducted entirely in English, ensuring an international academic environment;
