A.Studies in Romanian Language

Foreign citizens from EU third countries are enrolled in university and postgraduate education only after having completed the preparatory year of Romanian language or on the basis of a certificate attesting the knowledge of Romanian language. During the preparatory year students acquire the necessary knowledge of Romanian language as well as specific knowledge related to the profile of the future training (anatomy, physics, chemistry, technical drawing, etc.), if the study programme is organised in Romanian.

When registering for study programs that require Romanian linguistic competence, the following categories of persons are exempt from the obligation to present the certificate of graduation from the Romanian language Preparatory Year:

b. candidates who present certificates issues in Romania attesting a level of at least B1 in Romanian language;

c. candidates who pass the Romanian language test and obtain the Certificate of Romanian language proficiency.

The examination may be taken in the higher education institution where the candidate wishes to study, if this higher education institution runs an authorised/provisionally authorised or accredited/accredited specialisation / study programme in Romanian language and literature, or in another accredited higher education institution running such a specialisation / study programme. Following this examination, a certificate of language proficiency will be issued.

The fee for this programme varies according to the field of study you want to pursue after finishing the preparatory year. The tuition fee for the Preparatory Year in Romanian language is in the same amount as in one regular academic year(e.g.: : The Romanian Language Preparatory Year for the field of medical studies is in the amount of 320 EUR/month, whereas for the economic one it is in the amount of 220 EUR/month).
