If you want to study in Romania from Iraq, start with the exact university, degree program, teaching language and non-EU 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. For Romanian-taught programs, the route can include a Romanian language preparatory year before degree studies.
Non-EU planning
Program-specific tuition
Annual tuition and any university application, processing or preparatory-year fee vary by institution and faculty. Use the published program record to plan your 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 Iraqi 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 prior qualification supports entry to the program. Review its current published requirements before preparing translations or paying fees.
3. Build the faculty-specific file
Typical files include passport copies, civil-status documents, diplomas, transcripts, CV, medical certificate, language evidence, motivation letter and official application forms.
4. Translate and certify documents correctly
Documents issued in Arabic or Kurdish may need certified or legalized translation. Uploads in the Students4EU portal may be certified or legalized copies in Romanian or English, subject to the university’s exact rules.
5. Follow the official acceptance and visa route
After admission processing, use the documents and instructions issued by the university and competent Romanian authorities for payment, study visa and residence formalities.
6. Plan arrival and enrolment
Prepare housing, insurance, travel, original documents and enrolment appointments. Recheck official requirements because immigration and institutional procedures can change.
