Study In Bulgaria

The Republic of Bulgaria is located in south-eastern Europe with an area of 110,910 km². Although Bulgaria is a less popular study destination, students receive a quality education. The mobility and growing connections between Bulgarian higher education systems and universities across Europe provide great diversity and lead to a solid foundation for a future career.

The Bulgarian higher education system was reorganized in the mid-1990s after the fall of the communist regime. Between 1995 and 2002, the number of university graduates increased from 33,000 to 50,000. In 2002, there were 42 universities in the country with 215,700 students enrolled. Bulgaria has been a member of the European Union since 2007 and Bulgarian university degrees are fully recognized in EU member states. Studying and living in Bulgaria is very affordable especially if you are coming from a more expensive country or comparing Bulgaria to other top study destinations such as UK, US, Canada or Australia.
