Romanian Studies ?Romanian Studies? is the academic study of the Romanian language, literature, history, politics, society and culture in the broadest sense. Students of this subject familiarise themselves not only with Romania and the Republic of Moldova, but also with the Romanian minorities in Ukraine, Hungary and Serbia, as well as with the Balkan-Romanian minorities in Greece, Albania and Macedonia. In addition, attention is also paid to the more than one million Romanians in Germany who live and work here.
