What we can confirm

  • Listed in the WHO World Directory of Medical Schools (WDOMS ID F0001416) — you can verify this independently on wdoms.org rather than take any agent's word for it.
  • 97 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.

Are you, who run this institution, NOT capable of managing the "House of Craftsmen"? A ruin that is about to fall, thousands of people look at this "dirty and dry shack" building. Don't you know that the housekeepers at least whitewash their faces in the spring? What a shame....

Aberka Albert

I dont recomand.. its a SCAM faculty they are interrested only in your money they dont care about you if you learn or not.... and in Iasi life is very annoying people are rude and interesting only to scam you ... if you are from a civilized country just pass your way ...

C?t?lin Dumitrescu

An unsanitary place. The student and faculty toilets do NOT have toilet paper or towels to wipe their hands. It was as if they had a hygiene section.... or a hygiene exam. The rector and the administrative leadership apparently failed brilliantly.

Niuz Massied

I am a doctor in Germany myself, and my nephew is studying medicine at this university. He's in his sixth semester, but so far he has no understanding of anatomy and physiology. This university doesn't care about its students; they see them …

Dorian longuet

I applied for the dental program, and there were a few things that needed changing. The university doesn't listen and doesn't answer emails or phone calls, and when you finally manage to get through, the person gives a completely irrelevant …

Don paul

A place where hard work is rewarded. There's no point complaining about the idiots who are too stupid for medicine and who pay. Obviously, they'll never be doctors in France and will have to carry the guilt of cheating for the rest of their …

?The "Grigore T. Popa" University of Medicine and Pharmacy in Ia?i is one of the oldest and most imposing buildings in the city. The first modern university in Romania operated here, and now it houses several faculties, including Medicine, …

petitelidi

UMF Ia?i was once a peak of research and education in Romania. Unfortunately, incompetent and corrupt leadership and management ruined the reputation of this university. Students should stand up and ask for the resignation of incompetent …

Sophie G

A faculty of total embarrassment and the dean seems to have problems with organizing and making the right decisions. I don't understand their purpose when they decide to introduce new absurd and inhuman changes. Almost full attendance at …

It's one of the worst uni I have ever seen. Corruption, discrimination, ignorance and terrible attitude. This is what this uni will do with you. They do not respect you, do not care about you. You are nothing to them, just a wallet with …

For all foreign students, if you want advice, don't register at this university... I swear to God, it's the worst university in Europe. They are scammers and corrupt, and all they want is your money, literally. They want you to pay 750 …

The old body of the U.M.F. building was built in 1793 on the land of the hetman Costache Ghica and the treasurer Ion Cantacuzino. Here was the Princely residence of Calimachi Vod? between 1795-1799. The ruler of modern Romania A.I.CUZA …

David I

RO-ENG review--- One of the most corrupt and unserious universities in the country (most likely) and certainly in Ia?i. Corruption, unserious professors who make fun of their responsibilities and students, dirty dormitories full of …

Stefan Sandu

I was looking for the Gheorge Asachi faculty but I ended up here by mistake, they put a chip on me with an up-to-date update, I can't wait for the sessions, I pass easily, thank you for the chip, respect and much respect to the team

bogdan b?l?nescu

The "Grigore T. Popa" University of Medicine and Pharmacy in Ia?i, founded in 1879, is one of the oldest higher education institutions in Romania.
The university is named after Grigore T. Popa, an internationally renowned …

Adelina Cernat

A college open (to the pockets) to foreign students but that discriminates against them in every possible way. A total disgrace and a waste of time. If you are thinking of registering, I recommend you try another city

Teodor Valentin

Abusive teachers, they say they still give money, sometimes they insult us, there are still cockroaches in the amphitheatres.
The fried cheese is good in the cafeteria instead.
1/5 would never try again

Lazarescu Catalina

I do not recommend it. Here, learning activities are carried out to serve purposes other than training doctors. Top teachers are eliminated, people of "uncertain gender" at the DNA are glorified.

andrei burghelea

The best place if you like to be constantly humiliated, have no one care about you, and on the contrary, have all decisions made against you, all for the "small" price of 100,000 lei per year

luminita katnany

I personally had a very bad experience from a certain professor to the secretary, not to mention what my son went through!
I do not recommend foreign students to enroll in this faculty

Elena Petriuc

One of the worst decisions I've ever made was coming here. If you haven't applied yet and are considering UMF Iasi, read the rest of the student reviews and choose another faculty.

Alex Mandici

The Faculty of Medicine is the first of its kind in Romania (the main body being the current secretariat building), founded in 1879 and the best faculty in the country.

Dana Tirigan

I would like to ask those who comment negatively about this institution if they were there to see what is happening. UMF Ia?i is a very good university!

Alex !

I came to my daughter's graduation. Okay, we had to be there at 2:00 pm for the bracelets, which certify vaccination, and at 2:15 pm they were gone!!!!

Augyhj Hyuin

I want to clarify that the academic levels are not the same. The French track is significantly lower than the Romanian or English-language tracks. …

Eugen Benea

UMF Ia?i, the prestigious Romanian medical education institution with a substantial contribution to improving the Romanian healthcare system!

K N

I don't know how things are now but when I studied there around 25 years ago, it was on the top 3 universities in Romania. I missed Ia?i.

ghazzy88

It is one of the goodest university în the country, but here you can pass your exams by giving bribes to teachers " it's wonderful "
