The Faculty of Natural and Agricultural Science was re-established in spring of 1990 at the same time with the setting-up of “Ovidius” University from Constantza, having two new departments among others: Biology and Physical Education and Sports. In the fall of 1990 the department of Ecology and Environmental Protection was added, and then Agriculture (in 1992), Geography (in 1999), Horticulture (in 2002).

Although “Ovidius” University is a young one, high training in the departments of Biology, Physical Education and Sports, Agriculture and Geography naturally continues the faculties and departments of the former Pedagogical Institute in Constantza, which was founded in 1961 and further transformed into the Institute of Higher Education (in 1974). Since its establishment in 1961 till 1983 in this institute functioned the Faculty of Natural Sciences where students attended courses in biology and agriculture; from 1961 to 1975 there existed a History-Geography department within the Faculty of Philology. The Faculty of Natural Sciences continues to function as a distinct faculty. Thus the Departments of Biology and Geography will soon celebrate 40 years of activity.

In 1995 postgraduate education was founded with thoroughgoing studies (2 semesters) in the “Marine and Coastal biotechny and ecotechny” field. In 2004 these two-semester studies are replaced by four – semesters master’s studies and in the present, other master studies are developed in the faculty: “Biodiversity conservation and environmental protection” and “Irrigated agriculture in drought-vulnerable areas” (since 2004) and other are prepared: “Medical biology”, “Applied ecology”, “Sustainable development of natural and tourist resources in littoral area” “Ecological basement of environmental protection”, “Environmental impact management”. In these conditions graduates of any departments can attend master’s studies.

In the Faculty of Natural and Agricultural Science there are also the possibilities to continue the postgraduate studies as a Ph.D. In the last few years six specialists from “Ovidius” University and other universities and research institutes became “doctors” in Biology - Biochemistry and Ecology and Environmental Protection.
