Price guide

Romania universities — simple 3-tier price guide

A student-friendly comparison of international tuition, with medicine separated from ordinary programmes.

Reference research snapshot. International tuition is faculty-specific and often competitive versus Western Europe. Always confirm before payment.

How to use this guide

Choose medical vs non-medical first, then budget tier and city. Verify the exact faculty notice before applying.

  • Tier 1 — Affordable: up to about €2,500 / year
  • Tier 2 — Mid-range: about €2,501 to €5,000 / year
  • Tier 3 — High-cost: above €5,000 / year

Medicine, dentistry and pharmacy English/French tracks are typically high-cost compared with ordinary degrees. Compare them separately.

Medicine vs ordinary programmes — do not mix the numbers

Non-medical international Bachelor's/Master's often sit in competitive bands (commonly a few thousand euros per year). English/French medicine is substantially higher and should be compared separately.

Living costs matter as much as tuition

Bucharest is usually the most expensive. Cluj, Timișoara, Iași, Brașov, Oradea, Craiova, Galați and Constanța can offer better overall student budgets.
