Why Romania?
What made you choose Romania as your study destination?
I chose Romania because, beyond programmes taught in Romanian and English, there is a wide range of academic degrees offered in other major languages to meet the needs of an international student body.
For example, my friend Alexia is studying Information Engineering (Ingénierie de l'information), which is taught entirely in French. Thanks to the strong institutional partnerships between France and Romania, you don’t even have to move to France to take university courses fully in French. Similarly, for Hungarian or German speakers, Romania offers degree programmes taught entirely in those languages as well.
How has your experience in Romania been so far?
Tell us about your studies, daily life, and what stands out most to you. (In what ways has this experience supported your
academic or professional growth?)
One of the greatest gifts I gained in Romania has been the opportunity to exchange ideas with students from all over the world. I have shared numerous points of view on different religions, political perspectives, and language learning. It truly opened my mind and helped me overcome many misconceptions.
What do you think about your study programme, instructors (teachers, staff), and university facilities?
How do they compare with what you expected before coming here?
All of my professors are professional and approachable. Compared to what I had expected before arriving, they give us far more autonomy to manage our own time. As an international student, you quickly learn to be self-reliant rather than over-depending on your instructors—a skill that is absolutely essential for our future careers.
What have you learned in Romania — academically, professionally, or personally?
What’s something valuable you can truly say “I learned that in Romania”?
Personally, I’ve learned that time management is essential for a student in Romania. As a master's student, I’ve had to develop greater self-reliance; making the most of my personal time is something I truly value, and it has allowed me to grow across multiple areas of my life.
Academically, my university has offered us an abundance of exciting opportunities—from themed festivals and professional academic conferences to cultural events organized with foreign embassies and international educational forums hosted by global organizations. Taking part in these activities has truly broadened my horizons.
What do you enjoy most about living in Romania?
(It could be about the culture, people, food, cities, or your university experience)
One of the things I really appreciate about studying in Romania is the flexibility. Through managing my daily responsibilities, I've learned how to make the most of my free time. I can pursue personal interests, connect with friends, and build something meaningful for my academic journey—all while maintaining a healthy balance between my studies and personal life.
Do you have any advice for future international students considering studying in Romania?
What would you say to someone thinking about studying in Romania?
Since Romania joined the European Union in 2007, degrees issued by Romanian universities have become recognized throughout the EU. Romania is also part of the Bologna Process, so my degree follows the same structure and ECTS credit system used by universities across Europe. That gives me real flexibility if I want to continue my studies or work elsewhere in Europe. At a much more accessible cost than in many other European countries, you can receive a world-class education that serves as an excellent investment for your future. Whether you stay in Romania for a short period or in the long run, this experience will prove to be an unforgettable chapter in your life.
