Practical Matters
Accommodation
UTM does not offer accommodation facilities to any of its students. However, the Department of International Relations and Community Programmes will help you find housing in private flats at reasonable prices. Depending on the area and the facilities, the rent for a single room, with kitchen and bathroom, varies between 300 and 400 euro per month. We can also help you find a larger flat that you can choose to share with other international students.
Financing
Tuition Fees
All LLP/ERASMUS students are exempt from tuition fees. Romanian language courses are also free of charge for exchange students.
Cost of Living
A minimum of 6500 euro per academic year is necessary to cover basic expenses such as accommodation, meals, transport and pocket money. You should also take into consideration the necessary costs for visiting the country, especially if you come to Romania for the first time. A one-way train ticket usually costs between 20 and 35 euro. If you have an international student card, you will get discounts at museums and other tourist attractions.
To give you an idea of the living expenses for a student in Romania, we have put together a normal budget for one month:
Housing: 350 - 400 euro
Food: 120 euro (based on doing your own cooking or eating in student canteens)
Books and supplies: 50 euro
Local Transport: 15 euro
Other Expenses: 150 euro (clothing, mobile phone, leisure activities, travelling etc)
Passports and Visas
Citizens arriving from the EU countries, the European Economic Area (Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway), as well as from Canada, Croatia, Japan, Moldavia, South Korea, Switzerland, USA and Yugoslavia are exempt from visa requirements. As a student coming from one of these countries, you can enter the Romanian territory only with a simple customs stamp and you can reside here for up to 90 days. After this period, your residence permit is to be extended by the Romanian Ministry of Internal Affairs, for periods that shall not exceed one year.
Citizens arriving from all the other countries are obliged to apply for study visas in due time, at a Romanian diplomatic mission or consular office from their native countries.
