Student Life & Environment

Student life is centered on the university’s Expoziției Avenue campus. Official facilities information describes teaching laboratories, amphitheaters, seminar rooms, a library with reading space and database access, a bookstore, cafeteria, medical office, event halls, sport facilities, a fitness center, and campus-wide Wi-Fi. Students also receive an institutional email address and access to Microsoft software products. Extracurricular options named by the university include a student club, a theater studio, a student magazine, basketball, workshops, training sessions, cultural activities, and charity projects. Academic enrichment includes guest courses, summer schools, language study, career counseling, and specialist initiatives associated with Microsoft, Cisco, Red Hat, and IATA. Availability and participation conditions should be confirmed directly, since the facilities page does not provide a 2026 schedule for each activity. The university participates in Erasmus+ mobility and supports incoming exchange students with academic guidance, language and culture activities, and a buddy system involving the Erasmus Student Network. On-campus accommodation is available to bachelor’s and master’s students, but reservations are subject to capacity. The 2026/2027 accommodation page lists single, twin, and three-bed configurations with private bathrooms; utilities are charged separately under the current published rate structure. Students should obtain written confirmation of both room availability and the applicable contract terms before making travel plans.

Location & Surroundings

The university is located at 1B Expoziției Avenue in Sector 1, Bucharest. The official accommodation page identifies bus and tram connections serving the campus, including tram routes 41 and 42 and several bus services. Because the academic building, hostel, cafeteria, library, fitness provision, and many student services are concentrated at this address, resident students can manage much of their daily university routine without traveling between separate sites. Bucharest is Romania’s capital and largest urban center, so the setting offers access to public institutions, companies, cultural venues, transport links, and a broad private rental market. The campus is in the northern part of the city rather than in the historic center. Students comparing accommodation should therefore consider commuting time as well as rent, particularly if they choose to live off campus. The university publishes transport routes but does not provide a verified average commute from the airport, main railway station, or central districts. International students should check current public-transport schedules and their program’s teaching location before arrival. Campus housing may simplify the initial transition, though availability is not guaranteed.

Costs & Career Outcomes

For the English-taught portfolio, the university’s current fee page lists a 2026-entry application fee of EUR 150 for Romanian or EU applicants and EUR 250 for non-EU applicants. It publishes a regular bachelor’s tuition fee of EUR 3,400 per year, with a reduced first-year rate of EUR 2,700 for applications submitted before March 31. These figures exclude specified partnership programs in Marketing and Architecture, which have separate charges. A foundation year is listed at EUR 2,900. Applicants should confirm the fee displayed for their exact program before paying. First-year tuition is generally due in full shortly after admission; international students needing a visa must show that the first academic year has been paid in advance. The published refund policy permits a full tuition refund for non-EU/EEA students whose visa is refused, subject to official evidence, but not for other failures to enroll. Bank costs remain the student’s responsibility. For 2026/2027, campus accommodation is listed at EUR 120 per person monthly in a three-bed room, EUR 160 in a twin room, and EUR 300 in a single room, with utilities additional. The university estimates broader living costs at EUR 500–700 per month and books and supplies at EUR 200 per year; these are planning estimates, not guaranteed expenses. Career support includes counseling, internships, job-fair and workshop activity, and access to international exchange opportunities. Some schools also advertise specialist training environments, including Microsoft, Cisco, Red Hat, and IATA-related activities. No reliable institution-wide graduate salary or employment rate was found, so applicants should evaluate outcomes by program, professional accreditation, language skills, and intended labor market.
