Medical and Health Courses in Bulgaria in English: Medicine, Dental Medicine, Pharmacy, Nursing and Veterinary

Health sciences make up most of Bulgaria's English-taught offer. Four specialised medical universities, Sofia University and Trakia University teach Medicine in English; the same schools teach Dental Medicine and Pharmacy. Nursing and kinesitherapy are newer and smaller.

One entrance exam for all of them

The medical universities admit foreign students to Medicine, Dental Medicine and Pharmacy through the same kind of test: biology and chemistry, and at Sofia also English. If Pharmacy or Dental Medicine is your second choice, ask the admissions office whether one exam result counts for both. Dates and formats by university are on entrance exams.
