GENERAL OVERVIEW:

International students with Romanian origins are those citizens who do not have a Romanian ID, but identify with the Romanian culture. They may come from: Serbia, Albania, North Macedonia, Ukraine, Republic of Moldova, Bulgaria, Croatia, Greece, Israel, Hungary or the diaspora.

According to the Methodology for admission of the international students with Romanian origins at the higher education level for the academic year 2017-2018, these citizens participate in the admission process on places subsidized by the Romanian state. The scholarships from the Ministry of Education and research from Romania are divided in two categories:

• Without tuition fee and with monthly scholarship with financing from the state budget for: tuition fee, monthly scholarship (65 euro/ month for students, 75 euro/ month for MA students and 85 euro/ month for PhD students) and accommodation in student residences;
