English + interview
The University of Oradea lists Medicine in English at the Faculty of Medicine and Pharmacy as a 6-year, 360-credit program. For 2026 entry, Oradea uses a focused September admission process: an eliminatory oral English test, then a Biology and Organic Chemistry interview.
This page is for the Medicine program only. Oradea's 2026 documents mention Dental Medicine in English, but they also mark it as subject to operating authorization, so it is not listed here as an active Oradea option.

Oradea Medicine program overview

Good for

The September calendar lists a 220 RON admission registration fee, 220 RON contestation fee, 130 RON enrollment fee and EUR 250 file-processing fee for candidates with studies completed abroad. The non-EU international page also lists a EUR 25 online-platform fee and a EUR 250 university processing fee.
For day-to-day budgeting, Oradea is usually less expensive than Bucharest, Cluj or Timisoara. Use roughly EUR 500-750 per month before flights, visa or residence costs, deposits, translations and one-time setup costs.

Program profile and what to verify

The official admission criteria confirm Medicine in English as a 6-year, 360-credit program. They do not give a full public semester-by-semester curriculum on the admission page, so applicants should verify current course structure, clinical-language expectations and hospital practice details directly with the faculty before making a final decision.

Academic scope

Expect a standard European 6-year Medicine structure, but use the official Oradea curriculum as the final reference.

Clinical years

Like other Romanian medical programs, clinical communication may require Romanian. Confirm language expectations for later clinical training.

How Medimentor helps with Oradea Medicine

For Oradea, preparation should stay focused: spoken English, Biology recall, Organic Chemistry basics and the September application steps. Medimentor helps with exam preparation and the application process, but the final admission decision belongs only to the university.

English interview readiness

Practise clear spoken answers so the eliminatory English step does not stop the application early.

Biology topic recall

Build speed across the official Biology topic list before the September interview date.

Organic Chemistry focus

Use structured review for the published compound groups instead of studying unrelated chemistry topics.
