About Us

Short History

High Physics' teaching in Craiova has its beginning embodied by 1958 when, inside of the Teaching Institute, the "Physics and Chemistry Section", providing 3 years of study in regular classes, was founded. Since September, 1966, this Section was integrated to the University of Craiova, as the "Physics and Chemistry' Speciality", providing 5 years of study, in regular classes.

In 1971, a precisely focused Section was founded: the Physics' Section, providing 4 to 5 years of study, in regular classes. To the number of students allowed to this Section was given the limit of 30, by that time. The usual syllabus was of 4 years, but the best among the graduates were enabled to continue their study by the 5-th speciality year. In 1974, the Physics, Mathematics, Informatics and the ancient "Physics and Chemistry "(that was still going on since 1958) Section gathered under the name "Sciences of Nature Faculty". This structure kept on functioning till 1990. By then, the Faculty changed its name, becoming the "Faculty of Sciences", inside of which are the Physics, Chemistry (separated), and Geography-Geo-Ecology (gathered) Specialities.

To the graduates of the Physics' Speciality, our Institute offers the opportunity to continue their training by the Mastership Cycle and, finally, by the PH.D. Cycle in Theoretical Physics.
