Citizens of European Union member states, states belonging to the European Economic Area, and the Swiss Confederation, as well as British citizens and their family members, as beneficiaries of the Agreement on the withdrawal of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland from the European Union and the European Atomic Energy Community 2019/C 384 I/01, may participate in the admission process for all cycles of university studies under the same conditions established by law for Romanian citizens, including regarding tuition fees, after the recognition of studies completed in their countries of origin.

The recognition of studies is done by the National Center for the Recognition and Equivalence of Diplomas (CNRED)- https://cnred.edu.ro/studii-preuniversitare/.

In the case of recognition documents issued online by the specialized departments within the Ministry of Education and Research (CNRED), these are sent electronically to the admission committee by the candidate, according to the admission calendar. For enrollment, candidates who submit the recognition document electronically are required to submit a declaration on their own responsibility to confirm the budgeted place (Annex 7).

The list of high school diplomas recognized by the Ministry of Education and Research can be consulted by accessing the attached file: List of high school diplomas recognized by the Ministry of Education and Research;

The non-recognition of high school studies by CNRED leads to the loss of student status as well as all fees paid up to that point.

The equivalence of grades will be done according to the equivalence grid issued by the Ministry of Education and Research and can be consulted by accessing the attached file: Grading system.
