The information was presented by Victoria Craveț, vice-rector for economic-financial activity of Nicolae Testemitanu University, at the meeting of the University Senate on April 21 this year. "The decision to keep tuition fees at the level of previous years for Moldovan citizens was determined by the economic and geopolitical crisis in the region. At the same time, when determining the tuition fees, several indicators were taken into account: the expenses calculated for the hours envisaged by each study program, the number of students in the group, the level of endowment of the clinical bases where the students are trained, etc.", underlined the vice-rector.  

The tuition fee for the master's degree program in Molecular Technologies in Health remained unchanged - 19.3 thousand lei, and the tuition fee for the master's program in Management in Public Health will amount to 24.2 thousand lei for this year.
