Studying Medicine in Bucharest, Romania

The application process requires you to go and take a chemistry and biology exam at the University you are applying to, somewhere at the end of July. You will get accepted by the scores of the exams combined. The students from Romania are applying for university only after they get their Baccalaureate results, at the beggining of July. So the only thing you have to do before then is practicing for the Chem and Bio exams I would get some preparatory books for those if I were you. Indeed, there are a lot of issues with the medical system and the government, but the country is extremely beautiful! It is also a billion times more affordable than the UK, in terms of the student buget, and there are plenty of opportunities to study abroad for a semester or two, with scolarships if you have good grades. I'm a Romanian too, and I missed my country every day while I studied abroad for a few months

Thank you for this. I was considering applying as a foreign student as only having my A levels in the UK this year, I will not have time to study for both types of exams. In addition you I will not have any certificate to prove I finished secondary education here, since A level results are not available until August and certificates are not released until October.I perceive this will be a problem, not having a certificate to be able to apply with, whether I apply as Romanian or foreign student. Not sure who can help me find this info anywhere!

Hi. I am currently having the same problem. I am in year 13 studying in the UK and wondering how i will apply without my A Level certificate. Have you applied? If so, how was the application process? And the entry exam? I would really appreciate it if you could help me out! Thank you!

Hi Antonia, I am pleased to help as I struggled a lot with the registration process myself. I am now in my first year at Carol Davila and I am really enjoying it. I enjoy it so much I am not sure whether I wish to resit my A levels and start the UK application process again.

You can apply without the certificates, you are required to provide a signed and stamped letter from your school, detailing the A levels taken (board for each and result). The letter must also state when the certificates will be issued (ie Dec of that year).
I am more than happy to give you a bit more info, if you are thinking of applying to Carol Davila. Otherwise I am afraid I have no experience and each uni has its own rules, as you can imagine.

Antonia did u managed to aply? My cousin is having the same problem

hello. my name is gracious and im supposed to start my first year at carol davila faculty of medicine. ive paid my full years' tuition fees but its the visa that is being delayed. and im quite nervous about the entire thing because it seems like i would miss at least the first week of classes. i wanted to know if u do anything major in classes during the first week?
also will the school consider the fact that ive been late due to delay in my visa processing?
what about accomodation? so little is given on the school website.

i also wanted to know about the academic calendar and the way the classes are held? just a little description would help me a lot

maybe we might run into eachother when i begin. Thank you so much

Hi Gracious,

Welcome to Romania! Be prepared for anything that can go wrong to go wrong!
I do not believe you will have a problem starting a bit later than the rest of your colleagues. The worst that may happen is that you may have to recover one or two "lab" sessions. This can be arranged later with the lab leader.

On accommodation - there may be some uni accommodation available. If not, you may have to find something privately. There should be plenty private rentings available on the market, this should not be a big problem. I realise it may be daunting in a foreign country...

I attach a copy of the year planner, just in case you do not have it yet.

Pls let me know if you have any specific questions
