Carol Davila" University of Medicine and Pharmacy of Bucharest (abbreviated to UMFCD) is the core of medical and pharmaceutical higher education in Romania. In 1857, the Romanian-French doctor Carol Davila, founded The National School of Medicine and Pharmacy, known as the first Romanian university of its kind.

UMFCD consists of 4 faculties: General Medicine, Pharmacy, Dentistry and Midwifery and Nursing. Characterised as an advanced research university by the Ministry of Education, it has access to the facilities of over 20 clinical hospitals all over Bucharest.

Our Motto is INITIATION, EVOLUTION, EXCELLENCE!

Once the University door is opened, students enter a temple of study and human dedication. They are stepping on the footsteps of famous forerunners such as George Emil Palade, holder of the Nobel Prize.

According to US News, UMFCD ranks the first place in the Top of Romanian Universities for Clinical Medicine and it is within the range 100-150 in the global Shanghai Ranking (2021). Annually, around 10-20% of the students come from different countries and choose to study here. Apart from the rigour and excellence rooted in this institution, there are multiple social and volunteer opportunities that UMFCD can offer to a student. For example, a great way to meet new people and explore the university life is the involvement in student associations and extracurricular activities.
