Where your grades or English do not yet meet direct entry, a foundation or preparatory year leads into the degree.
What your Tawjihi average qualifies you forStudy destination
An EU degree, taught in English, at a cost that works for a family budget.
Overview
Romania is an EU member state with English-taught programmes and a cost of study well below Western Europe. For a family weighing a European degree against a British or American one, it is usually the option where the arithmetic works without a scholarship.
Tuition and living costs are the obvious draw, but the degree is the point: a qualification from an EU institution, recognised across the European Higher Education Area, earned in a country where a student from this region can live on a realistic budget.
As with any European destination, recognition at home is the question we work through first, and it matters most for the regulated professions. Bring us the field you intend to practise in and we will check how the qualification is treated before an application goes anywhere.

Student visa
First get accepted by an accredited Romanian university. Non-EU students then receive a letter of acceptance for studies issued by Romania’s Ministry of Education.
Jordanians apply for the long-stay visa for studies (D/SD) at a Romanian embassy or consulate, such as the Embassy of Romania in Amman.
Submit the Ministry acceptance letter, proof of one year’s tuition paid, proof of funds of at least Romania’s minimum gross monthly salary for each month of the visa, a police record and medical insurance of at least EUR 30,000.
The visa fee is EUR 300. Immigration gives its opinion within 30 days (extendable by 15), and the visa is issued for 90 days.
After arriving, apply to the General Inspectorate for Immigration for your residence permit at least 30 days before your visa ends, in person or online.
Visa rules change. Always follow the official guidance for your application date; ask us to check your file before you submit. Checked November 2026.
