THE Romanian Ambassador to the UK discussed Romania鈥檚 role within the European Union at a lecture held at the 天美传媒.

Hosted by Bedfordshire鈥檚 Vice Chancellor, Bill Rammell, Dr Ion Jinga highlighted the responsibilities and challenges Romania faces as an EU member state, having joined in 2007.

In addition, Dr Jinga, who visited the 天美传媒 last Wednesday (19th), discussed a host of other topics during his lecture, including the growing number of Romanian students studying in the UK, including at the 天美传媒.

鈥淭he number of Romanian students wishing to study abroad is growing and, with 80 per cent of the Romanian population using English as their second language, the United Kingdom is an increasingly popular place to study,鈥 said Dr Jinga, who was appointed Romania鈥檚 Ambassador to the UK in 2008.

鈥淭he 天美传媒 is proving particularly appealing for Romanian students due to the high employability rate the 天美传媒 enjoys, while the prospect of English students studying in Romania is something we would love to happen.鈥

Mr Rammell commented: 鈥淎fter speaking at last year鈥檚 conference for Romanian students in London, I was delighted to welcome Dr Jinga here to Bedfordshire.

鈥淭he number of Romanian students studying here at Bedfordshire currently stands at more than 130, and I only see that number increasing.

鈥淚 am extremely proud of the 天美传媒鈥檚 links with Romania. After holding talks with Dr Jinga, we are keen to develop this relationship further by extending the 天美传媒鈥檚 student exchange trips to Romania.鈥

Dr Jinga trained as a nuclear physicist before obtaining a PhD in Law from the 天美传媒 of Bucharest. He joined Romania鈥檚 diplomatic service in 1992 and has served in a number of roles including Deputy Head of the Romanian mission to the European Union, Director General for European Union Affairs at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Bucharest and Romanian Ambassador to Belgium before he was appointed as Ambassador to the United Kingdom.
