STUDY IN EUROPE
MBBS in Romania for Indian students: the honest cost, and the question to ask first.
An EU medical degree with no entrance exam, at a fraction of a private Indian seat.
What a year actually costs
| Item | Cost |
|---|---|
| Tuition, English-medium medicine | €5,000–8,000 a year |
| Accommodation | €150–350 a month |
| Food and daily living | €150–250 a month |
| Health insurance | €30–60 a month |
| Flights home | Two return trips a year |
A realistic all-in year: €10,000–14,000, tuition included.
THE QUESTION YOU MUST ANSWER FIRST
Where will your child practise? If India, the degree is only useful if it lets them sit the Indian licensing exam and register. Verify the specific university against current Indian rules on course length, internship and medium. Do not accept an agent’s reassurance as evidence.
The practical realities
- Learn Romanian. You will need it clinically.
- Winters are cold and long. The most common first-year complaint.
- Large student communities in Cluj-Napoca, Bucharest, Iași and Timișoara.
