Titu Maiorescu University
Overview & About
A popular private university among some Iranian applicants, but lacking guaranteed MOH approval. Founded in 1990, it was one of Romania's earliest private universities established after the fall of communism; it is named after Titu Maiorescu, the influential 19th-century literary critic who also briefly served as Prime Minister of Romania.
This university is not included in the current recognition list supplied for this project. Applicants planning to practise medicine in Iran should verify its latest status through the official Iranian Ministry of Health system before enrollment. Note: Later-year fees differ.

Is Titu Maiorescu University's degree recognised in Iran?
For non-medical fields, the authority that evaluates foreign degrees in Iran is the Ministry of Science, Research and Technology — but the evaluation itself, and the list of approved universities, is handled and published by the Organization for Students Affairs (SAORG), not by the ministry directly. That list has three tiers: Group A (excellent), Group B (good), and Group C (average). When we checked that list on 13 September 2026, this university did not appear in the Romania section of the 2026 list. Only two Romanian universities appeared there, both in Group C. Please read that carefully, because misreading it is costly: 1. This finding concerns the 2026 list. What counts for any individual is the list for the year in which they started their studies. If you started at this university in an earlier year, your position is assessed against that year's list, not the 2026 one. 2. The list is republished every year in Esfand and can change again next year. 3. We are a guidance site, not an official authority, and what you read here is a dated snapshot. If your decision depends on this, check the list yourself at grad.saorg.ir before accepting an offer, and obtain a written determination from SAORG for your specific university, programme and degree level. Why we stress "before accepting": the same office states that it considers a university's standing at the time studies begin, and that any request to review that standing during your studies, or after you graduate, is not possible under any circumstances. If you do not check before you start, there is no way to fix it afterwards.
Are English-taught programs available at Titu Maiorescu University?
Yes, English-taught and Romanian-taught degree programs are available with preparatory language year options. However, exact teaching languages vary by degree and department and should be confirmed directly with university admissions.
