Study Medicine in Romania – With Slawa Med Supporting You

Are you dreaming of studying medicine in Europe without facing strict admission limits or high tuition fees? Then Romania might be the perfect option for you. With its rich culture, historic cities, and growing international student community, Romania offers an affordable and recognized path into the medical profession.

At Slawa Med, we help international students—especially from the Middle East and Africa—start their medical education in Romania with ease and confidence.

Why Study Medicine in Romania?

1. No NC (Numerus Clausus) – No Entrance Exams

You don’t need a perfect GPA or entrance exam to study medicine in Romania. Most universities accept students with:

• A general high school diploma
• Good grades in biology and chemistry
• English or French language skills

Some universities require a short biology or chemistry test—but nothing compared to other countries’ strict exams.

2. EU-Recognized Degree

Romanian medical degrees are recognized across all EU countries, including Germany, France, and Austria. After graduation, you can apply for a license and practice medicine anywhere in Europe.

3. Low Tuition Fees

Studying medicine in Romania is significantly cheaper than in Western Europe:

• Tuition fees range from €3,000 to €6,250 per semester
• Some universities charge per year, not per semester
• Scholarships may be available

4. Affordable Living Costs

Romania is one of the most budget-friendly EU countries:

• Rent: €150–400 per month
• Food: €100–200 per month
• Total monthly expenses: €500–700

Students can often afford private apartments rather than shared flats.

5. English or French Programs

All medical programs for international students are taught entirely in English or French. Perfect for global learners.
