Study in Romania 2026: Universities and Costs

Romania’s university options include the University of Craiova, Emanuel University, the University of Medicine and Pharmacology of Oradea, Oradea University, the University of Constanta Medical School, and the University Politehnica of Bucharest. This gives students a range of places to look at, including medical and technical study options.

The price level in Romania was 40% of the US level in 2023. That makes cost an important part of the decision for students comparing where to study in Europe.

Romania’s GDP per capita in purchasing power parity was 37,534 USD. For a student, that gives a basic sense of the country’s economic context, but the main practical points remain the study options and overall cost level.

For a newly arrived international student, the first term starts with choosing between the universities available and settling into study at one of them. Romania’s university list is broad enough to include several named institutions, so it is worth checking which university matches your subject before moving.
