MEDICINE / COUNTRY GUIDE
English Medicine in Romania has university-specific selection, Ministry of Education acceptance and important deposit terms. For Indian applicants, the future right to register locally needs particular attention before paying.
The directory counts cover selected international medicine routes. Any wider national reference has its own year and applicant scope. Separate faculties and entry routes may have separate profiles; current intake availability is stated in each profile.

Tests, requirements & exceptions ↓ADMISSION / AT A GLANCE
There is no single national English-medicine entrance test for the international routes compared here. Cluj assesses the application file; Carol Davila adds a science interview. Do not describe Romania as universally exam-free.
Admission sources checked . Each requirement retains its programme and intake scope.
No separate science entrance test is listed for this 2026 international route; academic performance and achievements are assessed. Required language evidence or an accepted exemption remains separate.
Applies to: UMF Iuliu Hațieganu Cluj-Napoca, international English Medicine, 2026
Official requirements for Cluj academic-file assessment ↗Required in the 2026/27 English route: a 15–30-minute online interview in English using the published scientific topics, alongside academic-file evaluation.
Applies to: Carol Davila University, English Medicine, EU and non-EU international routes, 2026/27
Official requirements for Carol Davila scientific admission interview ↗An admission test, language requirement and medical licensing examination serve different purposes. For Indian citizens and OCI applicants, NEET eligibility is a separate India-return planning requirement; it does not automatically replace the destination university’s selection.

Cluj, Carol Davila in Bucharest and Grigore T. Popa in Iași run distinct international admissions procedures. Compare the exact Medicine track and applicant category rather than transferring one university’s rules to another.
The school qualification, language route, academic selection, Ministry acceptance and immigration permission are separate checks. An applicant can pass one stage while still having outstanding conditions at another.

Prepare examples of scientific reasoning and motivation even where the first step is an academic-file review. Do not assume that “no common national entrance examination” means admission without assessment.
| University | 2026 admissions evidence | Useful distinction |
|---|---|---|
| Cluj | Academic and personal-file evaluation with the programme’s English-evidence requirements. | Confirm the accepted language certificate or documented English-schooling exemption. |
| Carol Davila | Online English interview of approximately 15–30 minutes, including science assessment. | B2 language evidence and any exemption follow its own methodology. |
| Iași | File evaluation and an interview, followed by ranking and confirmation. | Being selected is conditional on Ministry/recognition documents, payment, originals and the study contract. |

The university sources checked here concern 2026/27 admissions. Confirmed 2027 opening dates, closing dates and fees are pending in this guide; the dates below are historical planning context.
Iași’s 2026 calendar placed file submission on 1 March–25 May, interviews on 10–19 June and results on 22 June. It then set separate confirmation and final-payment milestones. These dates show the sequence, not the next intake’s timetable.

Keep the fee year on the shortlist and retain the university’s written payment instructions. The examples below exclude living costs and are not a whole-course price guarantee.
| University / year | Medicine tuition | Separate charge |
|---|---|---|
| Cluj, 2026/27 | €10,000/year | €300 non-refundable file-processing fee. |
| Carol Davila, 2026/27 | €10,000/year | The schedule lists €500 for the language examination where applicable; this is not a universal application fee. |

Cluj’s 2026 procedure requires a place-confirmation payment of half the annual tuition and describes that payment as non-refundable. Non-EU visa applicants then need evidence of full first-year tuition payment.
Iași’s 2026 methodology requires two-thirds of tuition to confirm a place within the stated period, normally non-refundable on withdrawal or unmet obligations. It separately describes a board-approved refund route after full payment for specified Ministry-acceptance or study-visa refusals. Retain the refusal and apply under the actual policy; do not assume every withdrawal qualifies.

The non-EU admissions route includes a Ministry of Education acceptance letter. The university coordinates the relevant file; keep the ministry document distinct from an email saying you passed selection.
Prepare school completion and subject marks, passport and the required civil-status and health records. Authentication follows the document’s issuing country: an Indian school certificate does not become an Omani document because the applicant lives in Muscat. Follow the faculty’s translation and original-document instructions.

The national Study in Romania portal gives about €600/month as a general living-cost reference. At that rate, twelve months is €7,200 before tuition or exceptional costs. Actual rent, household sharing and city can change the result.
Add the housing deposit, flights, document work, insurance and residence formalities. Do not count a future part-time job as money already available for the visa or the first tuition payment.
Romania’s immigration authority describes the long-stay study route for non-EU applicants. It normally requires Ministry acceptance, at least one year of paid tuition, health cover and funds tied to the statutory minimum gross salary for the visa period. Exemptions exist for specified categories.
The current IGI page states a €300 visa fee and a 90-day long-stay visa, followed by residence formalities. Use the eVisa portal to identify the competent mission and its document instructions. An applicant in Oman must establish lawful residence for the chosen mission; do not automatically reuse an India submission location or assume a VFS channel.

Plan language study alongside the English curriculum. Ask your faculty which Romanian-language assessments precede patient-facing training, which hospitals provide rotations and what documents certify the completed clinical work.
Keep dates, departments and supervisors in a training record. Explain curricular clinical placements, any post-degree internship and specialist training as separate stages when discussing your future licensing route.

Romania’s medical law ties professional practice to qualification, medical fitness, professional registration and specified citizenship/residence categories. Those categories include qualifying non-EU statuses; it is incorrect to say that every Indian graduate is barred, or that a student residence permit automatically gives full professional access.
For an Indian applicant, obtain a written assessment from the competent Romanian regulator of the status and steps needed after this exact degree. Graduation, residency training and independent practice are distinct. This matters because the NMC route also requires evidence of registration in the country of qualification.

Cluj’s 2026 rules accept fully completed secondary studies in English instead of a separate language certificate. Otherwise it asks for accepted B2 evidence. Each university sets its own documentary conditions; this does not remove Carol Davila’s interview.
