Average source completeness across verified programs.
RomaniaGalați charges €8,500 a year, confirmed for 2026-2027, which puts it €500 below the Romanian median and inside the ten cheapest medicine programs in Europe. Selection is by file rather than examination — but the step that actually governs the timeline is the ministry recognition process for foreign diplomas, which runs outside the university entirely.
€8,500 per academic year, confirmed for the 2026/27 cycle. Ten of the 124 European medicine programs with a confirmed fee cost less, against a median of €16,968 — so Galați is in the cheapest tenth of the continent.
Inside Romania it is joint third cheapest, tied with Craiova, behind Sibiu at €7,000 and Constanța at €8,000. Romania's twelve medicine programs run from €7,000 to €15,000 with a median of €9,000, so Galați sits €500 under the middle of a market that is already among the cheapest in Europe. Across six years the tuition comes to €51,000.
Romania is the country where fee differences are worth shopping, unlike Croatia or Greece where the price is effectively fixed. A €2,500 annual spread between the cheapest and the median is €15,000 over the degree.
Selection is described as file examination and/or university-specific assessment, with a ministry recognition and letter process for foreign diplomas. There is no entrance examination to prepare for, which sounds simpler than it is.
The recognition letter is issued by a national authority rather than by the university, on its own timetable, and the university cannot accelerate it. That makes it the critical path: your application is not complete when you have assembled your documents, it is complete when the ministry has processed them. Applicants who work backwards from the university's own deadline rather than from the recognition process are the ones who miss the year.
The document list is correspondingly heavy — passport or ID, birth certificate, diploma and full transcript, authenticated, apostilled or legalised as required, certified Romanian or English translations, a medical certificate and English-language evidence. EU and non-EU procedures differ, and our record is explicit that the university's 2026 international-citizen methodology is the document to work from.
With no entrance examination, the documents are the application. That favours applicants with consistently good secondary science over those who can peak on an exam day — the reverse of Slovakia, Bulgaria or Thessaly, where a strong sitting can carry a mediocre transcript.
It also means there is no second chance inside the year of the kind Šafárik, Banja Luka or Trakia offer. A file is either competitive or it is not, and the way to improve it is not available in the weeks before a deadline.
The award is a Doctor-Medic qualification from the Faculty of Medicine and Pharmacy over six years. Romanian is normally taught and required for patient communication — the catalog is specific that this is a taught component rather than an assumption.
Applicants with a consistently strong science transcript rather than one good exam in them, who want a confirmed fee in the cheapest tenth of Europe, and who will start the ministry recognition process months before they look at the university's own deadline.
