Abstract
Re-established after more than 20 years of communist ban, social work education in Romania has a long history. In early 1990, Sociology, Psychology and Social Work were newly (re)created departments in Bucharest and Cluj and then in Iasi, comprising various local professionals seizing the opportunity. Collaboration with (mainly) European social work schools was developed and shaped the reconstruction process, the educational curricula and the profession in general in a rather hostile socio-economic environment. This chapter will explore some of the influences on this process of reconstruction, identifying possible benefits and constraints which led to the development and current structure of social work education in Romania. Social work education in Romania evolved during the last 30 years from being merely (re)created to being recognised as a field of study in broader doctoral schools (in 1999) and in the establishment of the first specific doctoral schools in social work (2019–2020).
