Admission Requirements for EU Students
Citizens from EU countries apply for admission in the Romanian educational system under the same conditions as Romanian citizens.
The recognition of the studies completed in their home countries is provided by the National Center of Recognition and Equivalence of Diplomas (CNRED) of the Ministry of Education, Research, Youth and Sports, according to the law. CNRED applies an automatic recognition procedure since 2008 for diplomas obtained from accredited educational institutions in any country of the EU, EEA and Switzerland.

Every higher education institution has to submit the application file for admission to studies in Romania to the Ministry of Education and Scientific Research (the minimum period of processing the application is 30 days, up to 60 days). If a positive decision is reached by the Ministry, a “Letter of Acceptance” is issued and sent to the higher education institution.
