The Bridging Year Into a Romanian Degree
Romanian universities run a preparatory year for international students who need to strengthen their language and science foundations before starting a degree. It combines intensive language study with the core science subjects required for medicine, dentistry, pharmacy and engineering, and completing it admits you into first year.
