Victor Babes University Of Medicine and Pharmacy - UMFT (reviews)

Victor Babeș University of Timișoara is a higher education institution that offers high-quality medical education. I was impressed by the modern infrastructure and the internship opportunities in local hospitals, which allow us to apply theoretical knowledge in a practical way. The professors are dedicated and have an up-to-date pedagogical approach, encouraging students to be actively involved in the learning process. However, some courses require improvements in terms of translation of materials for foreign students, in order to facilitate easier integration into the academic community. Overall, the experience was positive, and the university offers a stimulating academic environment and excellent opportunities for professional development.

Studying at Victor Babeș University is a unique experience. The university buildings are impressive, combining old architecture with modern facilities. The laboratories are well-equipped, and the practical courses in hospitals offer real experience in the medical field. The professors are very involved and share valuable knowledge. What I appreciate most is the collaborative spirit among students and the research opportunities. Timișoara is a lively city, with many places where you can study or relax. The university is not only a place of learning, but also a community that helps you become the best version of yourself.

I’m a medical student in the 4th year of “General Medicine, English Section”. I will always be thankful for the experience this university made me go through. Here there’s the right balance between theory and practice. In each class, we can focus and dedicate the right time to learning the important things and practicing what we learned. Anatomy is one of the most important subjects for a medical student, and here at Victor Babes University, they allow you to see with your eyes the Real anatomy. After 4 years of university, I’m capable of reading blood analyses, performing an ECG or echocardiography diagnosis, and elaborating a diagnosis based on anamnesis and main exams. I will personally advise this university on the right balance between learning and practice.

The education going on here is very unprofessional, you have professors who keep speaking in romanian to foreign students, the courses are so bad written they basically put their romanian lessons through a translate website which does it VERY POORLY. The teachers are souless, they give no meaning to the course they just read the translation very badly (in foreign language) you can barely understand what they’re saying. Whenever there are experiments, you feel like the professor is just rushing to finish it while students have barely understood the process of these experiments. There is no actual lesson you can physically study because most of the time it’s messed up because of the translation it’s gone through so you basically have to rewrite and research everything by yourself and you can still get it wrong because you’re just a student not a professor. Some teachers are always late to class, you find yourself waiting 20 mn everytime when going to certain courses. On top of that some professors who don’t take their subjects seriously will send you the exam the day before you pass it just so you can come in get your full mark then leave and this is a serious concern for me is the presence of corrupt professors who would fail you on purpose until you bribe them. This might not be the case in other big romanian cities but it is the case of timisoara UMFT. This is viable for foreign students, romanian students get a very different experience than us a better and PROPER one.
