Irina graduated from the University of Bucharest with a BA in Germanic Philology and European History, pursuing an MA in Ancient Studies (late antiquity) afterwards, although time would tell she was a medievalist at heart. Her PhD track in Nordic studies led her to study stays in Göttingen and Aachen, as well as courses in Swedish language and culture in Uppsala.
