Sofia and Varna Medical Universities

Hi Guys, im currently doing my A2s and will be applying to study medicine abroad within the next couple of weeks, logistically Sofia makes a lot of sense as it has direct flights to/from my city in the UK and it is the capital of Bulgaria however from my very limited research it doesn't seem to have a lot of foreign students.
if any of you have any information about medical universities abroad could you please share it just so i can make the most educated decision.
Thanks :smile:

hi im looking to do a similar thing and someone told me that some places do loans abroad? I know two people who go to Plevens and they say that literally no one is from the UK
ive got a friend whos in first year at plovidiv, he spoke to me about the loans and told me that there available to everyone. he did however say that they have relatively high interests rates which is why he'd avoid them
I'm looking to go Sofia Med school and I was told you can't get funding or loans for tution fees or living expenses. Could you confirm this?

Hey - Im applying for Sofia University to hopefully start this October for Medicine! Anyone have any advice on accommodation or living out there in general? Is there alot of UK students as I know no-one out there! Im a graduate in Biomedical science so Sofia uni have offered one year credit but I don't think ill take it as I haven't done anatomy since my first year and don't know a word in bulgarian and latin so better to start from 1st year lol! Anyone doing something similar? I'm applying through MLS.

1-)I have a question if I am not an EU member and I take dentistry degree from varna university is this degree guaranteed in all EU countries and I can work with it in any EU country ?

2-) I read on the site that the degree of dentistry is Master and it is 6 years, this means after finishing the 6 years I will have bachelor and master in dentistry?

Thanks in advance :smile:

That's correct you can't have you applied

I heard from current students that it's easy but I think they've changed our entrance tests
