Summary/Abstract: The sovietisation of the Romanian high education system started in 1948 as part of the main process of sovietising the whole Romanian society. The main goal of this study is to underline the political criteria which reshaped the adjustment of the social profile of students and teachers according to the new criteria of elites’ selection as well as the structural and qualitative changes resulted from the introduction of an ideological control on the curricula in the domain of social sciences. The study focuses on the University of Bucharest and its Faculty of Philosophy. Meanwhile, the more general context created by the new Education Law and the homogeneity of the new ideological criteria applied in the elites’ selections allows a set of conclusions at a national level.
