Studying medicine at Romanian universities takes six years. Lectures are given in English, but Romanian language skills are particularly useful in the clinical phase.
Romanian language courses are part of the curriculum during the first two years, with a proficiency test at the end of the second year that must be passed before the third year. In addition to lectures, students work in small groups of about ten, assigned during the first year. The first two years take place mostly at the university; from the third year onward, teaching takes place both in lectures and in hospitals with the small groups.
