Why choose to study Medicine?

Are you from a Francophone country or have you studied in French and wish to become a doctor? At UVVG, the Medicine in French program offers you a complete medical education, in your native language, within a European academic framework — with significantly lower costs than in France, Belgium, or Switzerland.

The specialization is internationally accredited and supported by modernized infrastructure — teaching spaces equipped to European standards, laboratories, a library, and cultural and social facilities. The most valuable students are integrated into student research circles, alongside clinically and academically active teaching staff.

The University is a member of FEDE (Federation for Education in Europe) — a network of nearly 500 higher education institutions from 39 countries, with consultative status at the Council of Europe.

Clinical practice takes place at the Arad County Clinical Emergency Hospital — with real cases under the guidance of practicing doctors. During your studies, you will also learn Romanian — a direct advantage in your relationship with patients and the local medical system. At the end: the licensing exam, residency, and a career without borders — in Romania, France, Belgium, Canada, or wherever medicine needs you.

The program attracts students from Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Senegal, and other Francophone countries in North and Sub-Saharan Africa. If you speak French and want a European medical education at an affordable cost, Arad offers exactly that: an internationally recognized program, a multicultural environment, and a community of students who understand your journey.
