Also, Romania is an attractive destination for those who are looking for a truly European education. It is a better option than Georgia in terms of Universities, infrastructure, and quality of education.

MBBS in Romania duration

Romania offers 6 Years of MBBS which is termed MD here. The duration of MBBS/MD in all European universities is 6 years. This uniformity is due to the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS) prevailing in Europe.

Romania also follows the ECTS. It is significant as it has a provision for the students to transfer from one University to another, without any academic loss.

Such university transfers based on ECTS happen easily in Georgia because the universities there have a lot of seats with very lenient eligibility criteria. However, Romanian universities have firm eligibility criteria and a limited number of seats.

Thus, university transfer under ECTS is not a possibility under normal circumstances in Romania as the education protocol is taken very seriously here. Indeed, the quality of education is what makes MBBS in Romania for Indian students, great!
