“In recent years, the Technical University of Moldova has undergone significant reorganization and strategic mergers, evolving into a comprehensive institution that trains specialists across diverse fields, from engineering and design to agriculture and veterinary medicine,” stated UTM Rector Prof. Dr. Viorel Bostan during his appearance on TVR Moldova. He elaborated on these transformations and their role in creating an environment of educational excellence.
Rector Viorel Bostan highlighted the positive impact of merging UTM with the State Agrarian University and three research institutes, transforming UTM into a robust multidisciplinary institution. “Today, UTM not only trains engineers, designers, architects, and economists but also agronomists, horticulturists, pomologists, viticulturists, and veterinarians,” he noted. This diversity allows for the integration of knowledge from various fields, resulting in innovative projects that combine digital technologies with agriculture or veterinary medicine.
According to Rector Bostan, multidisciplinarity is essential for a successful university. UTM promotes collaboration across different fields, enabling students to gain a holistic perspective and transferable skills.
A key factor in a university’s success lies in its human resources, both professors and researchers, and UTM is dedicated to providing a motivating environment for them. The university also makes significant investments in modernizing its infrastructure and laboratories, ensuring that students have access to cutting-edge technologies and equipment. “Having modern equipment and well-equipped labs is fundamental for delivering high-quality teaching and research,” explained Rector Viorel Bostan.
UTM places a strong emphasis on collaboration with industry, viewing it as a crucial partner in developing joint projects. This partnership also ensures that the study programs align with labor market needs. A prime example is the IT sector, where UTM has established laboratories outfitted by leading companies, offering optional courses and internships for students. Similar initiatives are encouraged across other sectors, underscoring the university’s commitment to enhancing students’ practical skills.
Consequently, UTM graduates enjoy a very high employment rate and have promising career opportunities in various fields. The university actively supports students in finding internships and jobs by organizing career fairs and connecting them with potential employers.
Rector Viorel Bostan encourages high school students considering careers in engineering, agriculture, or veterinary medicine to look into the Technical University of Moldova. He highlighted that UTM offers a high-quality education, a vibrant campus life, and excellent career prospects. “UTM is not just a place to study; it offers a comprehensive experience for personal and professional growth,” he said.
Mr. Bostan emphasized the importance of a dynamic educational environment that provides students with both theoretical knowledge and practical opportunities to engage in research and innovation projects. “I confidently recommend UTM to high school and college graduates. As the most dynamic university in the Republic of Moldova, constantly evolving and improving, we promise our current and future students that they will graduate from a university that meets modern demands. UTM is essentially a benchmark of innovation and performance,” he concluded.
At a time when the Republic of Moldova is preparing to make significant advances in infrastructure and technologies, UTM remains a beacon of academic excellence, preparing generations of engineers and specialists who will contribute to the country’s development. Choose UTM and build your future at an institution that maximizes your potential!
