Victor Ponta modifies CV, removes Italian master
Romanian Prime Minister Victor-Viorel Ponta was harsly hit by allegations of plagiarism following an article published in the magazine Nature on Monday.
Apparently some other things might be wrong in Ponta’s education profile as the Premiere changed his Curriculum Vitae which had been posted on his personal page as well the websites of the Romanian Government and Chamber of Deputies.
According to a Hotnews article (ro-lang), Ponta removed from his updated CV, a Master in International Criminal Law obtained at the University of Catania, Italy, during his studies between March and June 2000.

“Victor Ponta lost a master in his resume”, says HotNews comparing Premier’s current biography with that posted a few months ago. “The new version of the CV uploaded recently on the website of the Government, does not show a master that would have been conducted in March-June 2000, at the University of Catania, Italy”, writes the news website.

If he doesn’t hold a Master’s degree how was he accepted for PhD?
Andreea, I am not sure if the master study is an obligatory condition for starting a PhD project. Personally I know someone who claimed the PhD title in the Netherlands without any master diploma and the respective person was quite hard-working, she later went to Oxford for postdoc. Probably the master condition varies from country to country. I got my PhD in physics also in NL and the key factor in having a successful graduation are the publications. In my case, I had already 2 masters graduated in Romania.
Rules are different in Romania, and for Ph.D. Degree you require a Master’s Degree. This guy is guilty of fraud.
I think you are right regarding the master aspect in Ro and indeed Ponta’s CV does not feature any 2-year-long master study (or maybe 1 year in some cases). He mentioned some studies in Catania. However that turned out to be a quite conflicting master as it was reportedly denied by the Italian officials, but Ponta claims to have proof. Anyway not his master was really the problem:)
