International Students – Admissions
The Faculty of Aerospace Engineering offers programs of studies for international students at three levels: undergraduate (bachelor), master, and doctoral. Most undergraduate and master programs are in Romanian. The access to these requires the study of a preparatory year for international students to learn Romanian.
Programs taught entirely in English are also on offer: Air Navigation Bachelor of Aerospace Engineering and Air Transport Master of Aerospace Engineering.
The studies for international students are not free, a tuition fee is charged. For the citizens of the European Union and for all citizens with Romanian nationality there are facilities and scholarships supplied by the Ministry of Education.
