Study Medicine in Romania: The International MD Atlas (Verified Shortlist)

We compare only schools with official tuition tables: five cards, each with table, formula and warnings; Iasi has process without prices, card withdrawn; the rest lack comparable tables, listed with reasons.

Tariffs collected 2026-09-17. Every six-year figure is a projection (current scale + warnings), not a locked price; recognition gets verification steps only, never verdicts.

Three sentences first: projection ≠ invoice; listing ≠ recognition; this site does not determine your eligibility to practise in China.

Comparator: five verified schools

The cap cuts the six-year projection. Order is ascending by projection (ties: city A–Z), not an official ranking.

Q1 Six-year projection cap (euro) €65,000

Q2 Teaching language

Q3 City

Q4 Display (layout only, never ranking)

Comparison results appear here.

No-script baseline: full five-school table (build snapshot from the same dataset, 2026-09-17):

School	Languages	Annual table (official)	6-year projection	Admission model
Ovidius Constanta	EN	€7,500×6 (flat)	€45,000	file scoring
Cluj UMF	EN/FR	10,000/8,500/8,000/7,500/7,500/6,000 (declining)	€47,500	file review
UMFST Targu Mures	EN (FR programme exists, fees unlisted)	10,000/8,500/8,000/7,500/7,500/6,000 (declining)	€47,500	dossier + interview
Timisoara UMFT	EN/FR	Year I €9,000, Years II–VI unpublished	€54,000 (Year I stretched, understates easily)	file/grades (third-country)
Carol Davila Bucharest	EN	€10,000×6 (flat)	€60,000	entrance exam

Verification steps (3 layers, below) + warnings (tariffs change + cohort freezing + eight exclusions) apply identically. Iasi: process verified, no prices, withdrawn.

3-layer verification: same on every card

Directory evidence (WDOMS): the world directory of medical schools is kept by WFME + FAIMER (2014 IMED + Avicenna merger, pages carry Copyright 2014–2026), searchable per school, not a WHO list. Their words: listing denotes no recognition, accreditation or endorsement by the directory or its publishers; any association of a school with FAIMER/WFME is unrelated to listing. How to look: on search.wdoms.org under each school's legal name; read the result yourself, this site pins no “listed” badges.
Credential authentication (CSCSE): the MOE service-center hall at zwfw.cscse.edu.cn (reachable 2026-09-17) takes post-graduation individual applications, assessed per case. Never a school-result lookup; documents and requirements come from the live official page or they do not count.
Practice-right pathway (licensing exam): Practitioners Law Art. 9: university medical degree + one probation year under a licensed doctor, then the licensing exam (the English-translation transcription and the mirror snippet corroborate each other, see sources). Provincial-plus health commissions organize the exam. Diploma authentication ≠ the right to practise in China. THIS SITE DOES NOT DETERMINE ELIGIBILITY — that sentence is fixed.

The layers are independent: the directory says “the school is in the book”, authentication says “your diploma, your case”, the exam says “you may sit it”. No layer implies another.

Withdrawn cards and the exclusion list

Iasi UMF (process verified, prices missing): the 2025–2026 international methodology (Senate 24.10.2024 + addendum 26.11.2024) confirms file-based EN/FR tracks; the Senate fee table, hunted across rounds, is missing — full card withdrawn, no estimate. Missing prices ≠ weak school.
Craiova / Sibiu / Oradea / Galati: at build, no current official non-EU tables found (aggregators and agent figures only, never cited) — unverified ≠ weak, they enter when tables appear.
Arad Vasile Goldis (private): only a 2024–2025 Year-I notice (€8,500) and a 2022 methodology — expired acts do not stand in for current figures, withdrawn.
Dentistry/Pharmacy rows: the comparator does Medicine 6-year only; UMFCD's Pharmacy-FR €8,500 row appears solely as an “insufficient evidence for FR” counter-example (F2), never in cards.

Correction channel: official university decisions only. Send the original decision via the site contact page; verified fixes ship with a trace.

Historical sidebar: RO–CN exchange scholarships (2016, outside the comparator)

The bilateral documents disagree on quotas (9 vs 23/year) and run a Romanian-prep-year route — entirely separate from the English comparator, historical magnitudes only: undergrad $250/mo, postgrad $350/mo, scholar $400/mo + one round trip, Romanian side waives tuition + lodging. TW readers consult the MOE reference roster separately (this site draws no cross-strait conclusions).

Questions

What does the projection have to do with the invoice?

Nothing. The projection stretches the current official tariff over six years (formula on the card), while future Senate tables change yearly; the invoice follows your intake year and cohort table. That is exactly what the Cluj footnotes do: old cohorts freeze old tariffs.

Why does the Timisoara projection carry a bold warning?

Because only Year I (€9,000) is published. €54,000 copies Year I six times, real Years II–VI unknown — the strongest assumption among the five cards.

How does French compare?

French compares Cluj (€47,500) with Timisoara (€54,000) only: both fee acts cover Medicine in French. UMFCD has no Medicine-FR; UMFST has the FR programme but lists EN-track fees only; Ovidius is EN-only.

After the 3 layers, do I know I can practise back home?

No. The layers say “where to check and what”; authentication is per-case post-graduation assessment, practice turns on exam and registration — this site gives no eligibility verdicts, and any promise with “sure” in it is false.

Where do I budget living?

The projection covers tuition only. Housing and living go to the monthly simulator, visas to the visa page.
