DEAN’S MESSAGE: Dear MA students, The Romanian Higher Education is subject to a complex process of restructuring, as well as adaptation to the principles of the Bologna Process and to the modern European Higher Education in order to assure the recognition of qualifications through the ECTS system. With a few particularities, the Romanian Law Education is an integrating part of this process. All the MA students (both full time and distance learning) will follow the stipulations from the Regulation on the Conduct of Educational Activities – Master Studies, developed and adapted according to the Bologna Process criteria and approved by the Alexandru Ioan Cuza University Senate Decision no. 2/22.07.2009. To this purpose, all the MA students of the Faculty of Law have the same rights and responsibilities on an educational level, whether they are registered as full time or distance learning students. The curricula comprise of the same disciplines, with the same number of ECTS credits (120) and duration of one semester. The ECTS credit represents a formal unit of measure of the student’s level of knowledge in a specific discipline necessary in order to pass the examinations. Each teaching activity from the curriculum of a certain field will end with a final evaluation. The latter is represented by the arithmetic mean of the two semestral evaluations. The evaluation periods along the semester (for the full time MA students) are distributed as follows: - the first evaluation, made by the course lecturer and consisting of a written examination, will be held between the 9th and the 22nd of November 2009 (during the seventh or eighth week of the first semester); - the second evaluation, made by the course lecturer, will test only the knowledge acquired in the second part of the semester in a specific discipline and will also consist of a written examination, to be held between the 25th of January and the 7th of February 2010 (during the 15th or 16th week of the semester). For the distance learning MA students, the evaluation will consist also of a written examination held by the course lecturer between the 25th of January and the 7th of February 2010 (during the 15th or 16th week of the semester). Between the 8th and 21st of February there can be scheduled a re-sitting and re-examination session. Both the full time and the distance learning MA students will find the results of their evaluation displayed on faculty’s bulletin board and on the faculty’s website in due time. For thorough information we recommend that you consult: - the regulation on the conduct of educational activities at the Alexandru Ioan Cuza University of Iaşi; - the website of the Faculty of Law with its Internet address - http://laws.uaic.ro, as well as the website of the Alexandru Ioan Cuza University – www.uaic.ro .
