What we can confirm

  • Listed in the WHO World Directory of Medical Schools (WDOMS ID F0001706) — you can verify this independently on wdoms.org rather than take any agent's word for it.
  • 109 rated student reviews on file here, averaging 4.3★ — 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.

💬 Student Reviews

Real reviews from students.

Alexandru Popescu

The historical building of the "Carol Davila" University of Medicine and Pharmacy. Part of the courses and practical work in the first years of study (Faculty of Medicine · Faculty of Dentistry · Faculty of Pharmacy · Faculty of Midwifery and Nursing) as well as various university events take place here.

Traian Zoltan

The "Carol Davila" Faculty of Medicine in Bucharest has a long tradition in training entire generations of doctors, many of whom are internationally renowned.
We hope that the mock entrance exam held today will be a first step towards the goal of having a future doctor in our family!
God help us!

Geanina Filimon

Carol Davila swimming pool has some of the best and most committed swimming instructors. And physiotherapist Robert Gheorghe works wonders:))) We went with advanced scoliosis and within 12 sessions we straightened up and learned to swim:))) Gratitude beyond words to the Attak team:)))

arshad mahmood

We have lived in Romania for 4 years then left but our children continued their studies for another 2 years. Carol Davila is one of the best institutions my children had opportunity to study with. We love Carol Davila, Bucharest, Brasov and Transylvania.....and of course Romanians :)

Mariana Sofronia

On the day of the simulation, at UFMCD, the headquarters in Eroilor, there was an open day. There were some interesting stands, some less interesting ones, music in the garden. For those interested, it was an experience. It's good to go for those who want to give admission here!

Vasile Ion

It is indeed beautiful to look at, but if you don't leave Buc, you have the opportunity to walk a lot and there are no signs at the entrance to the streets, you don't know which street it is - what a bummer. Then you get halfway down the street and find a rusty name

Truck trucker

Back in the old days of the '90s,there were only a few cars in the parking of the faculty:some BMWs of the Greek students,some Mercedes of the Arab students and a few Dacias of the personnel.Romanian student didn't have a car,most of them coming from province.

Fares Salman

A beautiful and prestigious university, one of the strongest in the world. I studied medicine there with a number of highly qualified teachers and professors, and with intelligent and wonderful colleagues. I have many fond memories of that university.

Alex

- "Thoma Ionescu" and "D. Danielopolu" reading rooms: Monday - Friday 8.30-16.00
- Borrowing departments (for General Medicine; Dental Medicine; Midwives and Medical Assistance): Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday: 9.00 - 15.00; Wednesday: 9.00-18.00

Isabela Boniek

A top-ranking faculty in our country! It's hard to get admitted here as a student, and it's even harder to complete your studies! But those who manage to get a medical degree at the "Carol Davila" University of Medicine will be the best doctors!

Radu T.

I had a "90s education" with a lot of civil unrest, economic pain, political maneuvers by the student body, and by some of the shrewd and nepotistic old and new guard professors. And teaching was hit and miss,, teaching assistants were not …

Avoid the university of Carol Davila!! One of the worst behavior of staff in Europe!! The only thing that they are care about, is to take the money of European and International students, giving to them nothing!! 0 education, 0 respect, 0 …

gabi

We will never forget the lines at the secretariat before the start of the academic year, nor the ones at the library, which formed around 4 am for textbooks (old from around 1900). The humiliation starts very early for doctors and never ends.

Stefan I

UMF Carol Davila is the oldest and most prestigious medical university in Romania, founded a century and a half ago at the initiative of Carol Davila. Over time, the university has produced prestigious names in medicine, who have brought …

I am convinced that we have good faculties with very high-level university professors, but when I read certain announcements about students leaving after graduation, it makes me think, I am not in a position to solve the problems, but a …

Alexandra Nicolescu

In my time ? it was an unrenovated faculty, with tiled tables, an amphitheater with carved wooden chairs and tables with messages and signatures in pen, a small shop that sold you tap water in bottles that should have been sealed, an …

Iunia Elena

Everything is superlative! Starting with the building, a relatively well-maintained/restored historical monument, except for the basement with infiltrations, and ending with the people, be they students, secretaries or UMF staff. …

Amir Dardari

The Faculty of Medicine and Pharmacy Carol Davila Bucharest, which every year graduates among the most sought-after and smartest doctors in the world, I studied at this faculty as a pharmacist and I will never forget how good and …

Oana Suditoaia

Maybe you can also make parking spaces for students...we are so bothered by them and their insensitivity...they are so selfish and lacking in common sense I doubt they will be good doctors...I hope I never need their services.....

elena mateescu

The swimming pool at the Faculty of Medicine is clean, with professional instructors, but the prices for memberships are increasing at an unjustified rate and level. It is already noticeable that it is not so popular anymore.

Albert-Stefan Stancu

Unfortunately, the education system leaves much to be desired.
Leaving aside preclinical internships, where they teach from slides made on the run, out of boredom, clinical internships are carried out according to the …

sof

I won't say anything about the educational process or the teachers, but being a student here I noticed a few things about the building.
Very spectacular, but it's starting to deteriorate in some places (be careful, …

Mihaela Popa

I found a parking space! Everyone involved in the swimming lessons is very attentive to the public (parents and students alike). They are very caring with the little ones! I am very satisfied!

Robert Iacobovschi

I don't necessarily know what it's like inside, but it's amazing outside. There's a park and a swimming pool next to it. I'm sure you'll like the look of this building! (And next to it)

Petronela Irimia

Old but not easy is attending there for hard working romanian students, but for others it is a well known university and taxes are low. You can achieve some Erasmus Programme.

Paul Stancu

The state should invest more in such buildings, especially where there are prestigious universities like the Medical University. The building would require urgent renovation.

Denis Cr?ciun

The faculty yard has literally become a super crowded parking lot where you have no place to walk. Academic staff and students with speed cars obstruct the access roads. …

G. P.

One of the most beautiful historical buildings in Bucharest, full of memories, emotions, experiences.. the same smell, the same benches.....great need for renovation

Pincusan

Well done my students, at the Faculty of Medicine it's very good to treat children's diseases. Sankyyy, thank you very much ?? …

It is a prestigious university with a good reputation globally and a long history of high standards and distinguished graduates.

Dan Vlad Filip

The Palace of the Faculty of Medicine, an imposing building in the French neoclassical style, designed by architect Louis Blanc.

Mihaela Spiridon

It's a large unit but I don't understand why there isn't a valid phone number displayed for various advice and questions.

Gerald Adjei-misa

It has nice buildings and nice gardens, wish there were more signs in English to assist with navigation though
