Romania combines established European academic traditions with diverse study routes, connected student cities and a cost structure that can be more approachable than many Western European destinations.
Study and work
Work alongside your studies
Eligible non-EU students who hold a temporary residence permit for studies may work in Romania under a part-time employment contract for up to 6 hours per day, subject to current Romanian regulations.
European context
An EU study destination
Romanian universities operate within the European higher-education framework. Recognition still depends on the profession, destination country and individual program.
Study routes
Options across disciplines
International applicants can explore medicine, engineering, technology, business, economics and other academic areas, subject to each university’s current offer.
Student experience
Cities with distinct character
Bucharest, Arad, Cluj-Napoca, Iași, Timișoara and other centres offer different campus environments, living costs and travel connections.
Make an informed choice
Look beyond the destination headline
Academic fit comes first
Check the curriculum, teaching language, clinical or practical components, entry requirements and the qualification awarded. A good destination is not automatically the right program.
Budget for the full journey
Compare tuition, any preparatory year, housing, insurance, translations, travel and residence-related costs. Fees differ by university and faculty.
Plan language and adaptation
Even when a program is taught in English, everyday life and professional placements may involve Romanian. Language preparation supports both study and integration.
Verify official information
University requirements and immigration rules can change. Students4EU structures the process, while final confirmation must come from the university and competent authorities.
Your next step
Compare real universities and requirements
Start with published information, then build an application around the faculty you select.
