La West University of Timişoara, the beginning of the academic year means energy, culture and participation in the community. The opening ceremony of the new academic year is a moment of reference for the entire community, part of the "Welcome to UVT" Initiation Week program, the preparatory period for entering the new academic year dedicated to new students. The beginning of the year event will also be broadcast live on the website UVT Facebook and will mean a true moment of celebration, emotion and inspiration, together with representatives of the UVT academic community, students, parents and trusted partners, which will officially mark the start of the new academic year.
The opening day festivities of the academic year continue with the evening event, through the festival"UNIVIBES by UVT"– the 9th edition, where you will find artists on three stages, with Rock, Hip-Hop, DnB, Electro, Acoustic tunes, but also workshops, activities & relaxation areas, food & drinks. Admission is free, the traditional festival of the opening of the academic year at UVT being open to the local community.
On the occasion of "Univibes by UVT" 2025 we return with a new edition of "Univibes Talks" dialogues, in which we propose a different kind of meeting between Marcel Bostan, the voice of Alternosfera, the band with which we celebrate the beginning of the new academic year at UVT, and the students of Timișoara. You are welcome on Thursday evening, from 18 pm, in the Aula Magna UVT, for an open dialogue with one of the most influential artists of Romanian alternative rock.
At UVT, the newest students are dedicated to Initiation week "Good morning"n"it at UVT", with a program that will take place between September 22 and 28, 2025. During this week, first-year students enrolled in undergraduate university study programs discover what student life actually means, how the university environment works and what opportunities they have from this position. The extensive program of the Initiation Week at UVT includes introductory and accommodation events, information sessions, counseling and orientation sessions in the university environment, tours of the city of Timișoara and visits to cultural institutions in the city, teambuilding activities, cultural events, conferences, debates, exhibitions, theater performances, film screenings, concerts, etc.
Also, at the end of this week of intense pre-academic activities, the eighth edition of the UVT Liberty Marathon, a festival of sport and freedom that is not just a competition, but becomes a community landmark, where movement becomes a celebration to which each participant feels a special belonging.
UVT Rector, Prof. Dr. Marilen Gabriel Pirtea: "We invite you to participate in the celebration of the Opening Ceremony of the new academic year, an event that is part of the extensive program of the "Welcome to UVT" Initiation Week. In the evening of the same day, we will celebrate the new academic year together with music, at "Univibes by UVT", the only festival that is organized and held in a university, a very good context in which we come together and enjoy, by belonging to the UVT community".
