Success through quality assurance and international standards at UMFST-UMCH
Dear prospective students, dear professors, dear colleagues,
The University of Medicine, Pharmacy, Natural Sciences and Technology in Târgu Mureș is a renowned institution in the Romanian higher education system, which, in addition to medical and pharmaceutical education, is also distinguished by scientific research and national and international cooperation in these areas. With over 80 years of experience in the education sector, the university has promoted both social and performance-related requirements: quality, competence and competitiveness.
The Faculty of Medicine - an integral part of the university - places the future doctor at the center of its work. The partnership between students and teachers, which has gradually developed in a dynamic, competitive and transparent framework, is constantly bringing generations of young doctors that are integrated in the international medical space.
The study program that our university has been offering to international students in Hamburg since October 2019 aims to create the perfect combination of tradition and innovation, generosity and ambition, as well as the cultivation of deep human relationships and the use of the advantages of modern technologies with the transparent adoption of the medical training process.
Under the leadership of our experienced teaching staff, we will discover one of the noblest professions on a modern, superbly equipped campus. I am convinced that through joint commitment, cooperation and responsibility, we will fulfill your dreams and the visions of the cultures you represent and train you to become accomplished doctors.
