The post has been funded by the Romanian Ministry of Education and was launched in Oxfordthis week by the Romanian ambassador to the UK, Dr Ion Jinga.

The prospect of learning Romanian has proved popular – more than 20 students have already signed up for Romanian classes. Students will also be able to take an exam in Romanian Language and Linguistics as part of Linguistics or Modern Languages courses, and study Romanian in graduate courses in Linguistics.

There are currently 82 Romanian students at Oxford, of which half are undergraduates.
