Admission

File + interview

Grigore T. Popa University of Medicine and Pharmacy lists its English-taught Pharmacist route as a 5-year, 300-credit Pharmacy program in Iasi. For the 2026 intake, the official page lists 50 places and EUR 8,000 per year tuition.

This is not an exam-heavy Biology and Chemistry route for international English applicants. The university's 2026 admission page says there are no admission exams; the selection path is online file evaluation plus an online interview that is marked pass or fail.

Admissions and application timeline

The 2026/2027 methodology describes three stages: online registration and file verification, evaluation/scoring/ranking, then an online interview in the language of study. Files are submitted through the official platform; files sent by post, email or courier are not considered for admission.

1 Mar-1 May

Original registration

The original calendar listed the March-July 2026 online registration window in this period.

25 May alert

Extension notice

The official admission page later says application submission and enrolment were extended until 25 May 2026.

1-19 Jun

Online interviews

Online interviews are listed in the original calendar after file ranking and candidate notification.

24 Jun

Final list

The original calendar lists final admitted-candidate publication after interviews and appeals.

Documents

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.

Language

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

The evaluation grid is based on school performance and documented achievements. It can consider items such as prior academic medical or non-medical studies, accepted volunteering, secondary education in the language of study and recommendation letters.

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.

The honest prep angle is not speed-drilling a written MCQ exam. It is building a strong file, avoiding document mistakes, speaking clearly in English and comparing this route against exam-based alternatives in Romania and Europe.

Tuition fees and budget

The 2026 admission page lists Pharmacy in English at EUR 8,000 per academic year. Applicants should also plan for the EUR 200 processing fee, translations/legalization, travel, residence or visa steps and the tuition-confirmation payment.

Cost item	Current official figure	Notes
Pharmacy in English tuition	EUR 8,000 / academic year	Published on the official 2026 international admission page for the Pharmacist route.
Application processing fee	EUR 200	Non-refundable processing fee listed in the 2026/2027 admission methodology.
Seat confirmation	2/3 of annual tuition	The methodology says admitted candidates normally confirm the place by paying two thirds of tuition within the stated deadline.
Full first-year payment	Check current calendar	The original calendar listed final tuition-document steps in July, but the official page later posted a 25 May extension alert.
Living costs in Iasi	Approx. EUR 500-800 / month	Planning range before translations, visa/residence steps, rent deposits and first-year setup costs.

Iasi is usually easier to budget than Bucharest or Cluj, but first-year costs can still jump quickly because of document work, deposits, travel and residence setup. Compare total cost, not only the headline tuition fee.

Curriculum and academic profile

The official program page lists Pharmacy as a 5-year, 300-credit route taught in English. It highlights modern laboratories, research centers, community and hospital pharmacy practice, pharmaceutical industry routes, quality-control laboratories, toxicology laboratories and residency options.

Five-year pharmacy route

Pharmacy follows a 5-year, 300-credit structure according to the official 2026 program page.

Faculty of Pharmacy

The Pharmacist route sits inside UMF Iasi's Faculty of Pharmacy, not a short health-science certificate.

Focused published intake

The 2026 English route lists 50 places, so published capacity is smaller than Medicine and Dental Medicine.

Career settings

The official page names community and hospital pharmacies, research, academia, pharmaceutical companies and lab roles.
