Citizens of non-EU nations are invited to apply for scholarships offered by the Romanian government. Undergraduate, graduate and Ph.D. studies are all eligible for scholarships in Romania.

The agency of central public administration known as the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is responsible for carrying out Romania’s foreign policy in accordance with the law that is currently in effect and the Government Program.

The Ministry of National Education Scientific Research has decided that the scholarship recipients must only study in Romanian in order to support the Romanian language and culture. Candidates who do not speak Romanian are given an additional year of preparation to learn it.

A Succinct Description

Research Subject:

Three study cycles are covered by the scholarships:

Regarding the initial cycle (licenta): This program is intended for students who have completed high school or other pre-university coursework and who need to continue their education in Romania.

According to the criteria of the chosen faculty, the entire cycle of university study lasts between three and six years and concludes with a final test (licenta).

For the second cycle (master’s), this program is intended for recent university or post–graduate school graduates. It lasts 1.5 to 2 years and concludes with a dissertation.

This program, which is intended for university/postgraduate degree holders (master’s degree holders) for the third cycle (doctorate), lasts 3–4 years depending on the faculty chosen, and culminates in a doctoral thesis.

An entrance exam is required to enroll in a Ph.D. program. Political and administrative sciences, education sciences, journalism, Romanian culture and civilization, technical studies, oil and gas, agricultural sciences, veterinary medicine, architecture, and visual arts are among the topics of study.

Studying in Romanian only is encouraged for recipients of scholarships provided by the Romanian government in order to promote the Romanian language and culture abroad. Candidates who do not speak Romanian are given an additional year of preparation to learn it.
