Admission

Online interview + file

Carol Davila University of Medicine and Pharmacy lists Medicine in English as a 6-year, 360 ECTS program in Bucharest. For 2026/2027, the international English route is built around online registration, an online interview in English and file-based ranking.

This makes Carol Davila different from Romanian routes that use a written Biology and Chemistry entrance exam. Students still need strong science foundations for medical school, but the admission bottleneck is interview readiness, clean documentation and timing.

Proof of payment for the admission registration fee.

Language

English proof or exemption

The methodology accepts recognized English certificates at minimum B2 level, qualifying English-language previous studies or qualifying English baccalaureate results. Applicants should verify the exact accepted proof list before upload.

Online interview, not a written MCQ exam

The 2026/2027 methodology describes an online interview in English lasting about 15-30 minutes. The final ranking is made in descending score order, using the interview and the applicant's school-performance file.

Interview readiness

Prepare clear English answers, motivation for Medicine and enough science confidence to discuss the route credibly.

Academic file

School performance remains part of ranking, so clean academic documentation and translations matter.

Conditional admission

Selection still depends on original-file checks, recognition or letter-of-acceptance steps, financial obligations and the study contract.

Medimentor should position this route honestly: useful preparation is interview practice, Biology/Chemistry confidence, document planning and backup-route comparison. It is not a guaranteed-admission route.

The 2026/2027 international tuition-fee PDF lists Medicine in English at EUR 10,000 per academic year. The same official fee set lists the admission registration fee at 2,500 LEI, while the calendar lists seat confirmation by paying 50% of tuition.
