If you want to study in Romania as a non-EU student, start with the exact university, degree program, teaching language and admission requirements. Students4EU turns those details into a structured application checklist.
Program choice
English or Romanian study routes
An English-taught program normally requires accepted English-language evidence. A Romanian-taught route can include a Romanian language preparatory year before degree studies begin.
Non-EU planning
Program-specific tuition
Annual tuition and any university admission, processing or preparatory-year fee vary by institution and faculty. Use the published program record to plan the complete budget.
Student life
Study and practical integration
Eligible international students may be able to work part-time for up to 6 hours per day under current Romanian rules. Confirm the latest residence and employment conditions before relying on this option.
Application roadmap
How non-EU students can apply to Romanian universities
1. Select the program and language
Compare degree level, field, curriculum, teaching language, entry criteria, annual tuition and any preparatory year in the Students4EU university directory.
2. Confirm academic eligibility
The selected university decides whether your previous qualification supports entry to the program. Review the current rules before arranging translations or making payments.
3. Build the faculty-specific file
Typical requirements include identity documents, academic records, medical and language evidence, application forms and supporting statements.
4. Follow official decisions
Universities control admission, while competent authorities control acceptance, visa and residence procedures. Recheck their current instructions at every formal stage.

Non-EU applicant FAQ
Questions about studying in Romania as a non-EU student
Can non-EU students apply to English-taught programs?
Yes, when the selected university currently offers the program in English and you provide the language evidence accepted by that institution.
When is a Romanian preparatory year relevant?
It can be required before a Romanian-taught degree. An English-taught program normally follows its own English-language requirement instead.
Can I upload certified English copies?
The portal accepts certified or legalized copies in Romanian or English. Always follow the selected university’s authentication, translation and original-document rules.
Where do I check national information?
Use the official Romanian education website for national context, then follow the exact instructions published by the university and competent authorities.
