UNIVERSITATEA TEHNICA DE CONSTRUCTII BUCURESTI

The Technical University of Civil Engineering Bucharest (UTCB) is one of the 57 state universities in Romania, under the purview of the Romanian Ministry of National Education.With its roots in the “School for Land Surveyors” and in “The School of Bridges, Roads and Mines” founded in 1818 and 1867 respectively, in Bucharest, UTCB was established in 1948.
