Victor Babeș University of Medicine and Pharmacy in Timișoara is a public Romanian medical university with three English-taught routes in Medimentor's Romania coverage: Medicine, Dental Medicine and Pharmacy. The official 2026/27 international documents list separate places for non-EU and RO/EU candidates.

The important admissions nuance is that Victor Babeș is not one single route for everyone. RO/EU/EEA/CH candidates applying through type III admission take an on-site Biology MCQ test in Timișoara, while non-EU candidates are ranked through a dossier-based process using school results and official points.

Best fit

Documents

Typical application file

Online admission form and candidate account on the university platform.
Passport or ID, high school diploma or equivalent, and transcript documents.
Language proof for English/French/Romanian where applicable, or the university language test.
Medical certificate, data-processing declaration and recognition/acceptance-letter documents by applicant category.

Language

B2 language expectation

The international factsheet says all students are required to have B2 in the language of study. The methodology lists accepted English certificates and a university language test where applicable.

Exam route vs dossier route

For RO/EU/EEA/CH candidates, the 2026 type III methodology describes a written MCQ test with 50 Biology questions selected from a published pool of 500 questions. The final admission average combines the test grade with the baccalaureate or equivalent average.

RO/EU on-site test

The exam is held physically in Timișoara and starts at 10:00 according to the July and September calendars.

Option beats average

The methodology ranks candidates by the order of options in the online form, then by descending final averages.

Non-EU dossier ranking

Non-EU candidates are ranked by options and baccalaureate/equivalent average, with official points added by the university.

For Medimentor positioning, this means Victor Babeș is a Biology-heavy exam route for RO/EU applicants, but an application-file route for non-EU applicants. We should avoid implying that every applicant sits the same written exam.

Tuition, fees and living costs

The 2026/27 first-year international-fees document lists Medicine and Dental Medicine routes at EUR 9,000 per year. Pharmacy in English is listed at EUR 8,000 per year. Additional application fees apply before enrollment.

Recognition and licensing

The English routes sit inside Romanian higher education and are described as sectorally regulated in the university factsheet. UMFT states that it has IAAR international accreditation recognised by WFME, EQAR and ENQA, while the factsheet displays ARACIS and EBA references. Professional licensing after graduation still depends on the regulator in the country where the graduate wants to practise.
