Studying dentistry in Europe

I didn’t get any interviews from any of dentistry in the U.K. My ucat wasn’t high enough. I’m now thinking of considering studying in Bulgaria.
I have not sat my Alevels yet and plan on resitting ucat to apply for next year but would like to open another route by applying abroad.
Anyone studying in Bulgaria now? How did you apply? Was it through an agency? Is the degree recognised by the gdc or do you require to sit an. ORE?
Any advice appreciated. Thank you

Hi I recently watched this video on YouTube. This guy is studying medicine in Bulgaria he mentioned that he applied through an agency.

You can maybe put a comment on his video for him to see and possibly answer any further questions you might have after watching the vid.

But I would say take a gap year and re apply on UCAS but it’s completely up to you and the grades you get.

Plovdiv is getting increasingly hard to get into for Dentistry, make sure you sit the exam before a-levels to secure a place.

What are the different options for studying dentistry abroad (in English)?

I've seen a few options, but it is hard to know which options are best for career stability.

Anyone got any advice and guidance on this?

Is the Sofia one any good? Also what’s the latest we can give the exam for the Plovdiv one
