Study abroad at Romania

Romania is one of the premier study destinations in the European Union for international students seeking high-quality, internationally accredited medical, dental, veterinary, and engineering education. Renowned medical universities (such as Carol Davila University of Medicine and Pharmacy in Bucharest, Iuliu Hațieganu in Cluj-Napoca, and Grigore T. Popa in Iași) offer accredited 6-year English- and French-taught General Medicine and Dentistry programs recognized across all EU member states and worldwide. International students benefit from direct file-evaluation admission (often without demanding written entrance exams), very affordable tuition fees, low living costs, safe cities, and full European Schengen integration.

Tuition fees in Romania are highly competitive within the European Union. Accredited English-taught degrees in General Medicine (MD), Dentistry, and Pharmacy range between €7,500 and €8,500 per year. Bachelor's and master's degree programs in Computer Science, Software Engineering, and Business Administration range from €2,500 to €4,500 per year. Preparatory Romanian language foundation year programs cost approximately €2,500 to €3,500 per year. Average living expenses range between €450 and €700 per month.

Non-EU international students require a Romanian Long-Stay Study Visa (Type D/SD Visa). Key requirements: official Letter of Acceptance issued by the Romanian Ministry of Education, receipt proving payment of full first-year tuition fees into the university bank account, proof of accommodation (dormitory guarantee or lease contract), travel medical insurance covering €30,000, clean criminal record certificate (apostilled), and proof of sufficient financial funds (minimum €500/month). After arrival, students receive the Romanian Temporary Residence Permit (Permis de Ședere).
