Which faculties have admissions based on files in 2026

Thousands of high school graduates in Romania will have the opportunity to pursue higher education without the stress of entrance exams in 2026. A growing number of universities are adopting an admission system based entirely on applicants' high school diploma averages.

Prestigious institutions like the University of Bucharest are among those simplifying their admission process. At the University of Bucharest, five faculties will admit students based solely on their Baccalaureate average. These include Biology, Chemistry, Geography, Geology and Geophysics, and the Marketing program within the Faculty of Administration and Business. For other programs in the Faculty of Administration and Business, admission relies on Baccalaureate exam scores rather than a separate entrance test.

In Cluj-Napoca, the Babeș-Bolyai University offers simplified admissions at four faculties: History, Sociology and Social Work, European Studies, and Environmental Science and Engineering. These faculties primarily use the general Baccalaureate average, with the History faculty also requiring a qualitative motivational letter.

The "Alexandru Ioan Cuza" University of Iași stands out with nine faculties offering admission based on the Baccalaureate average. This includes faculties of Biology, Chemistry, Economics and Business Administration, and Philosophy and Social-Political Sciences, among others. This trend towards dossier-based admissions provides a less stressful pathway for many students seeking university places.
