Students from EU Countries

General Information

EU students who graduated the last study cycle (high school/Bachelor/Master) in a different EU country than Romania, must have their study diploma recognized and validated by the Romanian National Centre for the Recognition and Validation of Diplomas (CNRED) https://www.cnred.edu.ro/en/higher-education, part of the Romanian Ministry of Education.

CNRED issues, within a period of 30 days, the document that certifies the completion of last formal studies - Certificate of Recognition of Studies. This period may be extended accordingly in the case of conducting additional verifications.

Candidates must first apply for admission to the university on the platform https://admitere.pub.ro. Only after receiving formal confirmation of acceptance are they required to initiate the procedure for the validation and equivalence of their diplomas by submitting the necessary documents to international@upb.ro.

The Certificate of Recognition of Studies is a mandatory document for final enrolment; therefore, admitted candidates must begin this procedure immediately after being accepted in order to ensure that the certificate is issued in due time for enrolment.

  • If the language of the documents is not Romanian / English / French / Spanish, certified translations into Romanian are required.
  • Diplomas obtained in non-EU states by EU students, must be officially certified by competent authorities in the respective countries (Ministry of Education, Inspectorate of Education, etc.).
  • In case the EU student has a Romanian diploma for the last study cycle there is no need for a formal recognition of studies from the Ministry of Education.
