Study in Romania from Bangladesh
Some of the EU's lowest public tuition fees, full degrees taught in English, and a Ministry-run acceptance route for non-EU applicants — with a 9-month graduate stay for eligible students.
Main intake
Autumn (October). Non-EU application windows run through spring and summer and country quotas can fill early — apply months ahead.
UG teaching language
English + Romanian (+ some French/German). Full English-taught degrees are widely available; Romanian-taught tracks need a preparatory year or B1.
Non-EU fees
Typically €2,000–5,000 per year for most public programmes; medicine and dental medicine cost more. Living costs around €600 per month.
Post-study stay
Post-graduation residence extension for eligible graduates to seek work or open a business — typically 9 months, subject to current immigration rules.
Work while studying
Students holding a study residence may generally work part-time without a separate work authorisation, within legal limits.
HSC route
HSC accepted for general entry where recognised as baccalaureate-equivalent — every non-EU admission needs the Ministry's Letter of Acceptance.

Non-STEM

What it costs
Public university tuition for non-EU students is typically €2,000–5,000 per year for most programmes. Medicine and dental medicine are the exception at roughly €6,000–8,500 per year — still below Western European levels. Romanian Government scholarships for non-EU students can cover tuition, accommodation and a monthly allowance but are country-quota based, competitive and never guaranteed.
Living costs run around €600 per month, with on-campus dormitories commonly €60–85 per month where available. Students holding a study residence may generally work part-time without a separate work authorisation. Always confirm current fees and scholarship rules on the official university and Study in Romania pages before budgeting.
Bachelor's (HSC route)
Bangladeshi HSC accepted for general entry where recognised as equivalent to the baccalaureate. Your university forwards your dossier to the Ministry of Education for the Letter of Acceptance (decided within roughly 30 working days at most), so certified and legalised documents are essential. English-taught programmes typically ask for an IELTS/TOEFL/Cambridge certificate at faculty level; prior English-medium schooling can exempt you at some universities.
Master's (PG route)
A recognised bachelor's in a relevant field with a matching subject background. The same Ministry Letter-of-Acceptance route applies at PG level. English-taught master's typically ask for a language certificate at faculty level; medicine and other regulated fields add entrance exams or interviews.
Documents checklist
- Valid passport
- SSC + HSC marksheets and certificates (certified/legalised)
- Bachelor's transcripts + degree (master's applicants)
- CV and motivation letter
- English test scorecard (or Romanian B1 where required)
- Passport-size photos
Exact list and legalisation steps are confirmed in free counselling — the visa stage additionally needs the Ministry's Letter of Acceptance plus proof of funds, accommodation, insurance and a clean criminal record.
Romania FAQs
Can I apply to Romanian universities with my HSC from Bangladesh?
Yes. Romanian universities assess the Bangladeshi HSC where it is recognised as equivalent to the Romanian baccalaureate, with programme prerequisites applying on top. Every non-EU file is forwarded to the Ministry of Education, which issues the Letter of Acceptance your visa depends on — so certified, legalised documents matter. WBE checks your marksheets against your shortlisted universities before you apply.
How much does it cost to study in Romania from Bangladesh?
Public university tuition for non-EU students is typically €2,000–5,000 per year for most programmes; medicine and dental medicine cost more (roughly €6,000–8,500 per year). Living costs are among the EU's lowest at around €600 per month, with on-campus dormitories commonly €60–85 per month. Romanian Government scholarships for non-EU students exist but are country-quota based, competitive, and never guaranteed — always confirm current fees with your university.
Do I need to speak Romanian to study in Romania?
For English-taught programmes, no — many Romanian universities offer full degrees in English (plus some in French or German). You will still need an international language certificate such as IELTS, TOEFL or Cambridge at the level your faculty requires (commonly around IELTS 6.0, varying by faculty), unless your previous schooling was in English. Romanian-taught programmes need a preparatory year or a B1 certificate instead.
What is the Letter of Acceptance, and how long does it take?
The Letter of Acceptance is the Ministry of Education's approval of your non-EU study file — you cannot get a Romanian student visa without it. Your university submits your dossier to the Ministry, which decides within roughly 30 working days at most. Because university windows and country quotas can close early, apply months before your intended intake and always reconfirm the current timeline.
Can I stay in Romania after graduation?
Graduates can apply for a post-graduation extension of their temporary residence — typically 9 months — to look for work, complete employment formalities or open a business, subject to current immigration rules and proof of completed studies. Start preparing your job search in your final semester and always reconfirm the current permit conditions before planning around this option.
