      The paper deals with the Pseudo Algebraically Closed (PAC) field extensions. Based on a generalization of the techniques used for embedding problems to field extensions, the paper proves a number of new results and gives alternative proofs to known results. Among the new results, the following seem to be most relevant: - Theorem 1, which establishes that the Galois closure of any proper separable algebraic PAC extension is its separable closure; - Theorem 3, which gives a characterization of finite PAC extensions. More precisely, let \(K/K_0\) be a finite field extension. Then \(K/K_0\) is PAC if and only if one of the following holds: \begin{itemize}\item{} (a) \(K_0\) is a PAC field and \(K/K_0\) is purely inseparable; \item{} (b) \(K_0\) is real closed and \(K\) is its algebraic closure.\end{itemize}
