FAQ
Medical University of Varna admissions FAQ
Yes. Medical University of Varna delivers Medicine in English and runs its admission process in the same language.
It depends on the school and the cycle. Several universities (Varna, Zlatarov, and Pleven in recent cycles) run the exam fully online and remotely proctored; Sofia University's programme page does not say where its exam is sat. Check the current cycle's format for your target school; this guide notes it where published.
At some schools, yes. Medical University of Sofia's combined exam includes an English component, and Medical University of Varna runs a separate language-competency test alongside its two science papers. Medical University of Plovdiv and Prof. Dr. Assen Zlatarov University set an English diagnostic test only for candidates who don't already hold an accepted English certificate. Not every Bulgarian school tests English at all.
No separate national board exam. Bulgaria's state exam is built into the final year of the six-year degree itself, followed by free, indefinite registration in the National Register of the Bulgarian Medical Association (BLS).
Yes, it's the 2027 edition, built from the latest admission rules Medical University of Varna has published. Where a 2027 date or detail isn't published yet, confirm it with the university before you rely on it.
Yes. Medical University of Varna-format practice sessions are available inside the simulator and align with the guide section by section.
