Is this university right for you?
Best suited for
Students who have not secured a place at Carol Davila and need a Bucharest alternative; students who value the FAIMER listing specifically; students who can travel to Bucharest for the entrance exam; those who want on-campus dormitory accommodation in Bucharest
Not recommended if
You cannot physically travel to Bucharest for the exam; you need strong GMC alumni evidence; you are eligible for Romanian state scholarships (go to Carol Davila instead); you need transfers
Overall assessment
(Solid, fully accredited private university with a maximum Romanian quality rating, FAIMER listing, and Bucharest's hospital network. But the in-person exam requirement, tiny 45-seat intake, ~20 GMC graduates, and lack of scholarship access make it a clear second choice behind Carol Davila for most international students. A legitimate option — but only once Carol Davila has been exhausted.)
Considerations
- In-person entrance exam in Bucharest is a major practical barrier — candidates must physically travel to Romania before being admitted and before securing a visa
- only 45 seats per programme (smallest intake in Romanian cohort evaluated)
- ~20 GMC graduates (2022) — very low for a 33-year-old institution
- private university = no state scholarship pathway
