Education, Research and Innovation
The Technical University of Moldova (UTM) was founded in 1964, initially comprising three engineering faculties. In 2022, following the merger by absorption of the Public Institution State Agrarian University of Moldova, the Technical University of Moldova expanded its academic structure with three new faculties: the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, the Faculty of Horticulture, and the Faculty of Agronomy, in accordance with Government Decision No. 485 of July 13, 2022.
Subsequently, the Faculty of Horticulture and the Faculty of Agronomy were merged to form the Faculty of Agricultural, Forestry and Environmental Sciences. As a result, UTM came to comprise 11 faculties.
In 2026, under Government Decision No. 37 of February 4, 2026, the “Bogdan Petriceicu Hasdeu” State University of Cahul was reorganized through a merger by absorption with the Technical University of Moldova.

Currently, UTM comprises 11 faculties in Chișinău and 3 faculties within the “Bogdan Petriceicu Hasdeu” University Center in Cahul.
