Romania doesn’t have a central application portal. Instead, you apply to individual schools through their websites. There’ll normally be an application button on individual course pages, as well as on the school’s homepage. You’ll need to enter the course code. You’ll then need to present the following documents:
- High school grade transcripts - for postgraduate studies, you’ll also need to present your undergraduate diploma
- A breakdown of your individual high school grades - for postgraduate studies, you’ll need to do the same for your undergraduate qualification
- Certified copy of your birth certificate
- Copy of your passport and four passport-sized photos
- Medical certificate - this must show that you’ve had any and all vaccines that are required for entry to Romania
- A completed application form
Some schools also require that you submit a police background check. This varies from school to school. Some schools also require this background check to be certified by the Apostille of the Hague. You can find out more about this here.
All documents must be provided in their original forms with notarized translations into Romanian. Once you arrive in Romania, you’ll need to present all of these documents to your school for final confirmation of your enrollment.
