CYBER STUDIES IN ROMANIA
Abstract
There are many issues in cyberspace that have an impact on people and society overall in different ways, affecting all industries and nations. Part of what makes cyberspace so unique is how creatively it uses modern technologies. The research emphasises the need for a proliferation of cyber studies among academic institutions in Romania: The cyber domain is related to every area of our modern lives and affects them in an immediate and far-reaching way, being a space based on technology. Cyber programs should focus on Bachelor’s degrees to enable a broad and well-trained cyber Master students. Such programs should be part of a broader spectrum of academic institutions in Romania and in more cities, covering various themed academic institutions, including those that allegedly are not technology-oriented. Even though some academic institutions are specified on allegedly non-related cyber domains (Arts, Music, Theatre and Film, Sports, Religion, Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary and Healthcare), at least some of the others should have cyber-related programs, for example, Engineering, Urban, Petroleum- Gas, and even Healthcare. Due to the holistic nature of cyberspace, such cyber programs should not only be part of various academic institutions but also part of various faculties, and not necessarily the technology or economic-related faculties. Thus, dedicated programs must be established for cyber-related domains as part of multidisciplinary studies and in the faculties of Humanities and Social Sciences, where the emphasis will be placed on relevant aspects of cyberspace. Cyber studies at Romanian academic institutions need to take a more comprehensive approach, emphasizing that cyberspace is a far bigger topic that should be covered by every faculty and not just something connected to cybersecurity and technology
