Major subjects to research

  • Medicine
  • Pharmacy

Country planning

A little clarity.
A better next step.

Country planning

Entry requirements

  • Undergraduate: A recognised secondary qualification, relevant subject marks and language proof are assessed; medicine and other specialist degrees can require entrance examinations.
  • Postgraduate: A recognised relevant first degree and the faculty's subject and language requirements apply; check document recognition and any interview.

Country planning

Teaching language & tests

  • English programmes exist, but Bulgarian may be important for daily life and patient-facing learning.
  • Verify the clinical-language plan separately for regulated degrees.

Country planning

Major intakes

  • Autumn is the principal degree start; preparatory courses and any additional entry depend on the university.
  • Follow the current faculty call rather than assume a common national deadline.

Country planning

Tuition & fee planning

  • As a dated example, Sofia University's 2025/26 non-EU English schedule lists EUR 3,300 yearly for International Trade and Investment and EUR 8,000 for Medicine.
  • These are programme/year-specific examples; obtain the 2026/27 or later written fee before payment.
Plan beyond tuition

Include tuition, accommodation, food, transport, health cover, travel, visa charges, deposits and required financial evidence. Confirm currency, annual increases and refund conditions. Do not assume part-time work will fund your education.

Scholarships: a separate timeline

Ask about university, government, programme and research funding. Awards have their own eligibility and closing dates and may cover only part of your costs. No scholarship is guaranteed by a counselling or application service.

Opportunity, with context

Understand the rules before making the move.

Student immigration

  • A non-EU full-time student normally needs a type-D visa followed by a residence permit, with admission, accommodation, insurance and financial evidence.

Work and future scope

  • The EU immigration portal describes work without a separate work permit up to 20 hours weekly for eligible students, subject to the student status and applicable conditions.
  • Employment is not assured.

Career outcomes depend on skills, experience, language, recognition, local demand and employer decisions. A degree is not a job, visa or permanent-residence guarantee.
