Romania Medical University Admission Tests 🇷🇴
Romania is different from Hungary or Slovakia. There is no single national medical entrance exam for English-taught applicants. Each university sets its own admission model.
Some Romanian universities test Biology and Chemistry. Others rank your file, check your documents and run an online interview. The safest plan is to choose your target university first, then prepare for that exact process.
Romania admission quick facts
Three ways Romania selects applicants
Study Biology first
Titu Maiorescu and Vasile Goldis are the clearest written-test examples. Biology is central, with Chemistry or Physics depending on the university.
Speak clearly
Carol Davila, UMF Iasi and UMFST use interview-style steps. Students need calm English answers, not memorized scripts.
Documents decide a lot
Cluj, Craiova, Banat and Galati rely heavily on files, grades, certificates and eligibility checks. Missing papers can hurt more than weak exam prep.

Prepare for the model you choose
Biology base
Review human biology, anatomy, physiology, cell biology and genetics before any written Romanian medical test.
Chemistry choice
If the university lets you choose Chemistry or Physics, decide early. Do not split your energy too late.
Interview practice
Practise short English answers about motivation, study fit, medical interests and why you chose that university.
File control
Track translations, legalization, language proof, diploma recognition, fees and upload deadlines from the start.
Build backwards from the deadline
Romania often needs translations, legalized documents and recognition steps. Start with the official deadline, then work backwards by document.
Do not copy another university
A plan for Titu's Biology test is not enough for Cluj's file scoring or Carol Davila's interview. Match the prep to the exact university.
