Unfortunately work availability for foreigners in Romania can be a little complex. Perhaps you would be successful as a consultant running your own enterprise. In the same way, earning an income while studying is more likely if you are an enterprising individual rather than someone looking for a part time job.

Answer

All Romanian Medical faculties offer a 6 year medical school program. There is no internship required as this is included in the 6 year course in the form of clinicals. After completing the program the student will be required to write the license exam and will then receive their Bachelor of Medicine(MD/MBBS) degree after passing the license exam.

Sometimes, there are students who are unable to complete the academic year or don't have sufficient credits to qualify them to move to the next academic year. In such cases the program can take longer.

Romania is a relatively low crime country. Petty theft occurs occasionally without aggression. The smaller the city the lower the crime rate. We find locations that meets our high safety criteria. Some of the things we look at is violent crime, assaults, theft and burglary.

Here is a link where you may find some statistics on crime in Romania: http://www.nationmaster.com/country/ro/Top-Ranking... You will find that it does not rate as a high crime country in comparison to the rest of Europe.

The cities we send clients to study in are considered "university towns", with a high population of students, both foreign and local. Romania is a land of many towns, villages and small cities, all of which do not have universities. Romanian students, like foreign students, flock to "university towns" for their academic requirements.

Answer

Most of the Romanian universities we work with have student hostels, however many students prefer to stay in their own apartments. In Oradea, Romania for example, the student hostels are mainly occupied by Romanian students from other cities. Whereas in Bucharest, Romania the student hostels have a large number of foreign students.

So yes, as a medical student you may rent a room in a student hostel, but that would depend on availability. We advise our clients to go with a shared apartment at first, allow themselves to become familiar with the environment and then look at other options.

Generally the student hostels in the Romanian cities we visited are in decent condition and are the most affordable. There are single and double rooms, communal bathrooms and kitchens as well as other basic facilities like call boxes. Romanian students are given priority and it is a little more difficult for new arrivals to get hostel accommodation.

We stay alert for opportunities to provide better accommodation options for our clients and keep clients updated on new options for as they become available.

Answer

Since Romania's ascension into the E.U. UK and all other E.U. member country passport holders are no longer required to apply for a student visa and are allowed entry into Romania without a visa.

However, students are requested to contact their Romanian embassy or consulate to find out about any changes and confirm the procedure for their country. E.U member state students have to apply for the temporary residency permit, however the application and processing is much simpler than non E.U students.

E.U member state applicants may enter Romania for a maximum of 3 months without a visa, after which they will have to either apply for the temporary residence permit or exit the country and re-enter.

Answer

Foreign students may find part-time jobs somewhat challenging to come by. However Romania has good Internet connectivity and one may use the Internet to look for online jobs as a part time alternate source of income.

Please make sure that you do not come to Romania with expectations of financing your study expanses by working part time. Although not impossible, it may be challenging for one to find a well paid part time job in Romania that will sufficiently subsidize their living expenses and tuition costs.

That being said, lets also understand that anything is possible! Who says that you won't get an awesome job posing as a part time model or writing articles for a local English language newspaper.

We want to convey that it is better for you to have your finances taken care of before embarking on your study program. Your principal activity in this adventure is to study not to work! Besides studying medicine requires full time focus.
