Some Romanian universities may have ‘articulation agreements’ with their TNE partners in the UK. This means that the UK university will recognise the credits that you have studied for in Romania. Otherwise, in line with current national legislation, Romania’s Ministry of Education cannot yet approve TNE provision leading to the so called ‘joint degree”.

UK degree options in Croatia
The Algebra/Goldsmiths TNE partnership is the first such partnership in Croatia, having been announced in January 2022. Courses will begin in September 2022 and will include the validation of 12 innovative programmes at Bachelors and Masters levels. We believe that not only is this the first UK/Croatia TNE partnership but also the only international partnership of its kind for any university in Croatia. As such, the partnership is blazing a new trail, with management at Algebra working closely with the Ministry of Science and Education to ensure that any obstacles they or their students encounter can be addressed quickly and easily.
Supporting the development of TNE partnerships is a priority for the government of Croatia, and forms a central plank of its internationalisation strategy. Certainly, Croatia represents an excellent location for study. Living costs are low compared to Western European countries, and the well-developed tourist infrastructure means that the country is both welcoming and easily accessible for visitors.
Applications are welcomed from candidates with a Croatian baccalaureate (or equivalent from another country). Currently, a pass in English in baccalaureate A is considered sufficient to study. For applicants from outside Croatia IELTS is necessary, with required levels varying depending on the course of study.
Candidates from outside the EU will need a student visa to enter Croatia. These can be issued by the nearest Croatian Embassy in your home country - see https://www.croatiaeducation.info/international-students/list-of-croatian-embassies-and-consulates-around-the-world.html for a list of Embassies around the world and more information for international students.
The full range of courses available for study can be viewed at the website of Algebra University, see https://www.algebra.hr/visoko-uciliste/en/partnership-with-goldsmiths-university-of-london/
