Since the 18th of June 2009 the Ministry of Education, Research and Innovation approved a set of working procedures in order to process the application files of the foreign citizens coming from other countries than the EU ones, willing to study in Romania.
Therefore, this year, in order to receive the study acceptance letter, the files which are deposed at the University or at the Ministry have to get a notice from the University where the candidate wants to study.
In this context, a set of recommendations was elaborated regarding the admittance of the foreign citizens coming from other countries than the EU ones for the BA, MA or PhD programs.
Also, the admittance of the EU citizens in the BA, MA or PhD programs is made in similar conditions to the Romanian candidates’ admission. In order to equalize the study diplomas the University or the EU candidate has to address the National Centre for Diploma Recognition and Equivalence, a specialized department within the Ministry of Education, Research and Innovation.
