Study Abroad Programs in Romania

Romania is one of the largest countries in Europe by both population and land area, sitting squarely on the Black Sea and sharing borders with Bulgaria and Ukraine. The state of Romania emerged in the late 19th century after gaining independence from the Ottoman Empire, and over the 20th century endured a tumultuous history of regime change as Europe became plagued by war. Today it is a presidential republic with an open economy.

The largest city and most popular destination where to study abroad in Romania is Bucharest, the nation’s capital. Bucharest is a major cultural, financial, and industrial hub of Eastern Europe, and is also the sixth most populous city in the entire European Union. Sprawled along the banks of the Dambovita River and offering a magnificent combination of medieval and modern architecture, it is no wonder why Bucharest is the top choice of many to study abroad in Romania.

Bucharest is by far the largest city in Romania, but for a more quaint experience of the country’s national culture you may want to study abroad in a smaller destination. Cluj-Napoca, Brasov, and Slobozia all are very enticing cities in this right, each bringing a distinct flavor to the table. For fans of horror and mythology, you may also find it to be a fascinating experience studying abroad in Transylvania.
