Dunarea de Jos University of Galati is a public Romanian university in the Danube city of Galati. For Medimentor's English-taught medical scope, the relevant route is Medicine in English at the Faculty of Medicine and Pharmacy.

The main thing students need to understand is that this is not positioned like the classic Biology and Chemistry written entrance exam routes. UDJG's 2026 Medicine in English page says admission is by file competition, with ranking based on academic records and English-language proof.

Best fit

Applicants who want Medicine in English in a smaller Romanian public-university setting and prefer a document-led admission route over a separate written science entrance exam.

Main caveat

The first-year tuition table lists Medicine at 9,000 lei, but international applicants still need to confirm their exact citizenship, recognition and fee category before paying.

Medicine in English at Dunarea de Jos University of Galati

The university's English announcement and programme listings describe Medicine in English as a six-year medical route. The licensed-programme list gives 360 ECTS, which matches the standard European structure for Medicine.

Admissions overview

The 2026 admission conditions state that EU/EEA/Swiss/British-with-withdrawal-rights candidates and non-EU candidates can apply. Applicants must prove English-language competence and then compete through their application file.

Application file

Admission is described as a file competition for Medicine in English.

Minimum B1

English proof is required unless an official exemption applies.

3 days

Admitted students must pay and complete the study contract within three days after final results.

EU / non-EU

Final enrollment depends on study recognition for EU students or a Letter of Acceptance for non-EU students.

Documents

The file has to be clean

Secondary-school documents and transcripts must support the academic-ranking calculation.
EU applicants normally need study equivalence or recognition from the Romanian process.
Non-EU applicants need the Letter of Acceptance route before final enrollment can hold.

Language

English proof is central

Candidates present an international English certificate at minimum B1 level or a UDJG competence certificate not older than two years. Candidates without a valid certificate can sit a paid university test.

Evaluation model

UDJG's Medicine in English page says the final admission average is calculated from 100% of the baccalaureate exam average. If the applicant's country does not issue a baccalaureate or equivalent average, the university uses the general average of high school years instead.

Academic record drives ranking

This route rewards strong school results and correct documentation more directly than separate MCQ-test performance.

Biology and Chemistry still matter

If candidates tie, the university uses Biology and/or Chemistry grades as tie-breaks, first Biology and then Chemistry where both appear in the curriculum.

Admission is still conditional

Payment, study-contract completion, recognition or Letter of Acceptance and visa outcome can still affect final enrollment.

For Medimentor, this means the honest support angle is application strategy, document readiness and academic strengthening. Biology and Chemistry revision can still help students start medical school stronger, but the page should not sell this route as a written entrance-exam product unless the university changes its English-route format.

Tuition, fees and living costs

The UDJG 2026/27 first-year tuition table lists Medicine / Dental Medicine at 9,000 lei under the Faculty of Medicine and Pharmacy. Because international fee treatment can differ by citizenship and route, applicants should confirm the exact payment category before relying on that figure.

Living costs in Galati	Approx. EUR 500-750 / month	Planning range for rent, food, transport and normal student spending in a smaller eastern Romanian city. Private rent and deposits can move the real budget.

Galati is usually a lower-cost planning environment than Bucharest or Cluj. Students should still budget for rent deposits, translations, recognition or acceptance-letter steps, travel and first-month setup costs.

Recognition and enrollment conditions

Medicine is a regulated profession. A Romanian medical degree can be relevant across Europe, but the right to practise is always decided by the medical regulator in the country where the graduate wants to work. Applicants should verify recognition and licensing before choosing any route.

Student life in Galati

Galati sits on the Danube in eastern Romania and has a more practical, lower-pressure student-city profile than Romania's largest medical hubs. That can be attractive for students who want lower living costs and fewer distractions, but it also means a smaller international medical ecosystem than Bucharest, Iasi, Cluj or Timisoara.

Budget-friendly city profile

Galati can be a sensible fit for students who are trying to control total yearly cost, not only tuition.

Public university setting

UDJG is a broad public university, so medical students study inside a larger institution rather than a medicine-only campus.

How Medimentor helps

For Dunarea de Jos, Medimentor should be framed as decision and readiness support rather than a guaranteed-admission shortcut. Students need a clean file, realistic timeline control and enough Biology, Chemistry and English confidence to enter medical school in good shape.

Application-file planning

Keep transcripts, English proof, recognition or acceptance-letter steps and payment timing aligned before deadlines.

Academic readiness

Use Biology and Chemistry revision to strengthen the subjects that still matter for medical-school success and tie-breaks.
