  • 25% grade from the professional skills certification exam from the same program.
• Candidates who choose options and specializations in English or German must include a certificate or attestation of linguistic competence in the relevant language(s) in their application file. The list of certificates approved by UBB can be found in Annex 1 of: https://infoadmitere.ubbcluj.ro/ro/reglementari/files/Regulament_admitere_2025.pdf

  • For the Advanced Information Systems specialization, two language proficiency certificates are required, one in German and one in English.
• Note: The list of specializations by fields can be found in the Nomenclature of fields and specializations/programs of university studies: https://www.edu.ro/sites/default/files/ANEXA_1_NOMENCLATOR_2020_2021_0.pdf

For specializations in the field of Mathematics:

• For the master's specializations in the field of Mathematics, candidates who have graduated from one of the following fields are accepted without a specialized test:
  • a specialization in the field of Mathematics
  • a specialization in the field of Computer Science

• A candidate who has not graduated from one of the above-mentioned specializations will take a specialized test on the subject of Mathematics from the bachelor's exam topic. The minimum grade for passing the specialty test is 6.00. For master's programs organized in the mother tongue or a foreign language, the specialized test is held in the language of instruction in the university study program. If candidates choose more than one option, they will take the specialized test in the language of instruction according to the first choice.

For specializations in the field of Computer Science:

• For the master's specializations in the field of Computer Science, candidates who have graduated from one of the following fields are accepted without a specialized test:
  • a specialization in the field of Computer Science
  • Computer Mathematics specialization in the field of Mathematics
  • a specialization in the field of Computers and Information Technology
  • one of the following specializations in the field of Economics:
    • Cyber Economics
    • Economic Informatics
  • Graduates of the postgraduate training and professional training programs organized by our faculty are also accepted.
• A candidate who has not graduated within one of the above-mentioned specializations will take a specialized test on the subject of Computer Science from the bachelor's exam topic (apart from the specialization of Data Science in Industry and Society, which has its own specialized subject). The minimum grade for passing the specialty test is 6.00. For master's programs organized in the mother tongue or a foreign language, the specialized test is held in the language of instruction in the university study program. If candidates choose more than one option, they will take the specialized test in the language of instruction according to the first choice.
• For the Advanced Information Systems specialization, two certificates of language proficiency are required, one in German and one in English.
• In the Cybersecurity (English) and Cloud, Network Infrastructure, and High Performance Computing (English language of instruction) specializations:
  • The conditions for the language proficiency certificate are the same as for the other specializations.
  • The number of EIT Digital candidates is determined following the selection process at the EIT Digital level. The processing of the files of these candidates is done by the admission committee for master's studies of the Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science, the Center for International Cooperation of Babeș-Bolyai University, and the Master School Office of EIT Digital.
  • For these specializations, the tuition figure per fee-paying place will be reduced depending on the number of EIT Digital candidates.
  • Candidates who come through EIT Digital are exempt from the application fee and processing fee at UBB, as they pay similar fees at EIT Digital.
  • For EIT Digital candidates, the letter of motivation in the EIT Digital selection file is equivalent to the professional and scientific career development plan.
  • Candidates who come through EIT Digital are accepted without a specialized test.
  • The equivalence of studies carried out outside Romania for EIT Digital candidates will be done by the Center for International Cooperation of the BBU. The UBB General Secretariat will equate the grades these candidates earned abroad.

For specializations in the field of Educational Sciences

• For the master's specializations in the field of Educational Sciences, candidates who have graduated:
  • for the Didactic Master's Program in Mathematics:
