Study in Romania

• After the Ministry of Education issues your Letter of Acceptance to Study, apply for a long-stay visa for studies at a Romanian embassy.
• Show means of support of at least the minimum monthly wage for the whole visa period (scholarship holders exempt), plus health insurance.
• After arrival, apply to the General Inspectorate for Immigration for a temporary residence permit for study.
• Students may work part-time for up to 4 hours a day without a work authorisation.
• After graduating you may stay up to 9 months to look for work or start a business.

• A completed secondary school certificate for bachelor's, or a relevant bachelor's degree for master's
• English-taught programs: IELTS, TOEFL or another test the university accepts; Romanian-taught programs: Romanian proficiency or a preparatory language year
• Non-EU applicants also need a Letter of Acceptance to Study from the Ministry of Education; the university submits your file and it takes about 30 to 60 days
• Official transcripts and certificates, with certified translations if they are not in English or Romanian
• Apply through the university's online application
• For the visa: Letter of Acceptance, proof of tuition payment, means of support, health insurance and accommodation

Cluj-Napoca, Bucharest, Iași, Timișoara and Târgu Mureș are the main university cities, and all have long-running English-taught medical programs. Living costs are low for the EU and public transport is cheap, though Bucharest rents are higher. The Carpathians and the Black Sea coast are within reach for weekend trips. Part-time work is capped at 4 hours a day, so plan to cover most costs from your own funds.
