Cost of Studying in Romania (2027) for International Students

Romania admits students from outside the EU through a two-step route: the university checks the application, and the Ministry of Education issues the letter of acceptance without which admission cannot be completed. Babes-Bolyai University in Cluj-Napoca charges non-EU students EUR 2,500 to EUR 7,000 a year for an English-taught bachelor's and EUR 2,500 to EUR 9,000 for a master's, and a long-stay study visa costs EUR 300.
