EU citizens can get a state-funded place on the same terms as Romanian students; otherwise fees are usually €2,000–10,000 a year, and non-EU students pay on average €2,000–5,000. Romania has 52 public and 32 private universities, and its universities of medicine and pharmacy offer medicine in English. See what a student residence costs (from €80 a month) and how far €600–900 a month goes.
Admission rules (admitere) are set by each institution and faculty – sometimes your school grades count, sometimes there is an exam. Check the admission regulations on your chosen faculty's website.
For medical programmes in English in Cluj-Napoca and Iași there is no entrance exam: the universities assess your documents and secondary school grades, and in Iași there is also an interview.
