How admission works in Bulgaria

There is no national application portal: you apply to each university, which runs its own competition within the number of state-funded places approved every year by the Council of Ministers. You need a Bulgarian secondary school diploma with the state matriculation exams (matura) or a recognised foreign equivalent; depending on the university and programme, applicants are ranked by entrance exams set by the university, by matura grades or by a combination with secondary school grades. Universities publish their admission rules before 31 March of each year, so the rules for the autumn 2027 intake appear by 31 March 2027. Citizens of the EU/EEA and Switzerland are admitted on the same terms as Bulgarians; other foreign applicants are admitted under a separate procedure and pay the fees set for foreign students.
