If studying medicine in Romania is your dream, time is running out. Most Romanian medical universities have already closed admissions for the 2026 academic session. Hundreds of international applicants have already secured their seats, and most universities are no longer accepting new applications.
A few reputed Romanian medical universities are continuing to accept applications for a limited period during late July and August. These are among the last opportunities to begin medical education in Romania this year. The programs are taught in English.
Remaining MBBS Admission Options in Romania
The following universities are still accepting applications for their English-taught Medicine programs.
| University | Program | Application Deadline |
|---|---|---|
| UMF Cluj-Napoca | Medicine (English) | 12th August 2026 |
| George Emil Palade UMF Târgu Mureș | Medicine (English) | 25th August 2026 |
| Vasile Goldiș University of Arad, Arad | Medicine (English) | 31st July 2026 |
All three are excellent universities with strong international recognition and reputation. Students from across the apply to the university for admissions every year.
Apply Immediately
Medical universities in Romania receive applications from students across Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. As admissions approach their final stages, the number of available seats decreases rapidly. The process of enrolling students for MBBS in Romania takes a long time to complete, and if any document is missing, there is time to procure it.
Waiting until the last moment can mean:
- Missing the application deadline.
- Having even fewer university options available.
- Delaying your medical education by an entire academic year.
- Forced to switch to alternative countries that you might not like as much as Romania.

What If You Miss Romania's Admission Deadlines?
If admissions close before you can apply, you still have excellent alternatives within Europe.
Bosnia and Herzegovina
Bosnia has become an increasingly popular destination for Indian and international medical students. The programs are in English medium, with a curriculum similar to that followed in EU-zone countries. Migration under the ERASMUS+ program is also possible. The tuition costs are very affordable, and graduates comfortably meet the NMC's Foreign Medical Graduate Licentiate Regulations 2021. All of that makes Bosnia an excellent alternative for students who miss Romanian admissions.
Serbia
Serbia is another strong European option for medical education. It shares its border with Hungary, Romania, and Bulgaria. It has many public universities that offer internationally recognized English-taught medicine programs with extensive clinical exposure and a straightforward licensing pathway. Serbian medical universities continue to attract students seeking quality education in Europe.
Both Bosnia and Serbia may still have admission opportunities available after most Romanian universities have completed their intake. Plus, hundreds of students from India already study in these countries, so you won't feel too lost.
