• Launch was initially targeted for September 2025, but the start was moved to January 2026 to finalize all accreditations with Italian and Romanian authorities.

• Graduates receive a public university diploma issued by UMF Cluj (the “mother university”), fully recognized in Italy, Germany, France, and all EU countries.

Our End-to-End Service

Because of the high volume of students we have enrolled at UMF Cluj over the years, we operate a local office in Cluj-Napoca to support our students on the ground. If you engage our services, we will:

• Create a dedicated applicant email on our server and conduct 100% of the online application for you.

• Prepare the paper file in our Munich or Vicenza offices using your legalized copies; we then handle Romanian translations in Cluj-Napoca and assemble the final dossier locally.

• Manage all communication with the university and optimize your application to maximize points.

• Help you obtain an English language certificate efficiently.

• Arrange an easy, quick psychological evaluation (required by the university).

• Provide the standard health forms for your family doctor (so you won’t need 5–6 separate specialist visits).

Campus, Transport & Housing (Novarello)

• Teaching is held at Campus Novarello, about 15 minutes from Novara city center.

• Facilities include a large events/teaching building, hotel (to be converted into student dorms), restaurants, spa & wellness center, and extensive sports facilities.
