International Student Guide
Study in Romania for International Students
A practical guide to studying in Romania: programme selection, admission routes, recognition considerations and official information for international students.
What international students should know first
Romania provides an official Study in Romania portal for international students with programme, university and admission guidance. Procedures can differ depending on citizenship and the chosen institution, so students should use the national information portal and then verify the exact university route before submitting documents.
Admission Roadmap
A practical route before you submit documents
Check the route for your citizenship
The official admission guidance distinguishes procedures for EU and non-EU applicants, so do not assume that every international student follows the same process.
Prepare the requested academic documents
Universities can ask for qualifications, transcripts, identity documents, language evidence and documents connected to recognition or acceptance procedures.
Complete immigration steps when relevant
Students who need a visa or residence permit should follow the current official Romanian immigration and Study in Romania instructions after confirming their admission route.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. StudyinRomania.gov.ro is the national information hub for international students and is administered by UEFISCDI in cooperation with Romania's higher-education authorities.
Do EU and non-EU applicants follow exactly the same Romanian admission procedure?
No. The official Study in Romania admission guidance separates EU and non-EU procedures, so applicants should confirm the route that applies to their citizenship.
Who should confirm the final document list?
The selected university should confirm its current admission file and deadlines. Official national sources are useful for the wider procedure, recognition and immigration context.
Where can I verify recognition information?
The official Study in Romania portal provides recognition guidance and points students to the National Centre for Recognition and Equivalency of Diplomas (CNRED) where relevant.
