What we can confirm

  • Listed in the WHO World Directory of Medical Schools (WDOMS ID F0001415) — you can verify this independently on wdoms.org rather than take any agent's word for it.
  • 48 rated student reviews on file here, averaging 3.9★ — read the full text below before deciding.

Verify before you pay anyone

  • Recognition and licensing rules change over time. Re-check the current NMC-eligible colleges list and this country's regulations for Romania yourself before paying anything.
  • Never pay an agent or "seat reservation" fee in cash, or before you have a signed offer letter directly from the university.
  • A guaranteed admission, a discounted "management quota" seat, or pressure to decide within 24 hours are classic pressure tactics — slow down and verify independently.
  • Confirm the medium of instruction, hostel/food costs, and total multi-year fee in writing from the university itself, not only from an agent's brochure.

I S

Corruption bad ranking it figures on ( 1001)th lasts university in the world , more over they dare to ask you to pay 7500€/ year , obviously it doesn't deserve they have old material , some teachers blackmail you , if you give them 300€ you can get the test beafor testing day . Also the administration try to scam you with hidden fees

Andreea Lupascu

Last resort!! I didn't expect that at a prestigious university like the one in Cluj Napoca the registration schedule would not be respected, ending 2 hours early on the last day. We are still talking about a year in the life of some candidates and perhaps quite a lot of effort to get there. Shame on you!

Sara Craciun

The lady at the reception is the definition of "disgusting". She belittles all the students and talks to them like they're trash. If you ask something, why do you ask, if you don't ask, why don't you ask. Instead of working, she sits and gossips on the phone.

-If you have disappointments regarding the behavior of some employees of U.M.F. "Iuliu Ha?ieganu" Cluj Napoca, why don't you address a technically drafted request to the University Rectorate? with a registration number, obviously! maybe …

Today's doorman asked me for 50 lei to park inside for 2 hours. I think it's abuse of office and great insensitivity "so he can have a beer too" so shameful for a reputable university ? I hope action is taken against this verbally …

If I could give zero stars, I absolutely would.
The inconsistencies start right from the so-called “admission” process — it feels like a money grab before you even set foot on campus. The evaluation of …

I have tried to contact this university through several ways (Instagram, telephone, and email). Despite reading my messages, they have not responded and are ignoring me. This is very unprofessional.

This man is to be avoided he is very arrogant and with little experience only schools do it but experience 0
