Best fit
Students who want an English-taught Romanian Dental Medicine route in a student city and prefer a file/interview admission model over a separate written MCQ entrance exam.

Admissions and application timeline
Original registration
The original calendar listed the March-July 2026 online registration window in this period.
Extension notice
The official admission page later says application submission and enrolment were extended until 25 May 2026.
Online interviews
Online interviews are listed in the original calendar after file ranking and candidate notification.
Final list
The original calendar lists final admitted-candidate publication after interviews and appeals.
Application file requirements
- Online application through the UMF Iasi registration platform.
- Passport or ID, secondary-school diploma and transcripts.
- Required translations, legalization or apostille depending on the issuing country.
- Medical documents, fee proof and other files listed in the current methodology.
English proof at B2 level
The methodology refers to accepted language skills at minimum B2 level unless an exemption applies. Applicants should use the official language-skills annex before assuming a certificate is accepted.
File evaluation and online interview
Academic record matters
Because the route is file-based, transcripts, diploma results and documented achievements are central to the application.
Interview is eliminatory
The methodology describes an online interview lasting up to about 10 minutes, marked as admitted or rejected.
Admission is conditional
Final enrollment still depends on recognition or letter-of-acceptance steps, tuition payment, original documents and the study contract.
