Scoala Normala Superioara Bucharest (SNSB) was set up in 2001 on the model of the french Ecole Normale Superieure, by the initiative of a group of young researchers. Its mission is to guide towards research the best romanian students, and offer them a top-quality working environment. It contributes to society through the pursuit of education and research at highest standards.

STRUCTURE

The scientific activities are supervised by a Scientific Committee formed by world-renowned experts in each discipline. SNSB has no tenure positions, and the lecture courses change on an yearly basis. The Scientific Committee selects every year the courses from a list proposed by, and open to academics and researchers around the world.

STUDENTS

Each year the SNSB admits in each discipline, via a thorough selection process, up to ten student who have just completed two undergraduate years of study. The become SNSB students for three years. In the first year (the preliminary cycle) they graduate from their home university, and follow complementary courses at the SNSB. The last two SNSB years (the master cycle) is devoted to a Master's Program, offered by SNSB, finalized through a Master's thesis. SNSB charges no tuition fees. On the contrary, it grants scholarship in proportion to the academic achievements (as measured by final exams).
