Ask the university in writing
- Is the entire MD taught in English, at your university, in Bulgaria?
- How long is the clinical internship in the final year, and will you certify it as 12 months at your institution?
- Will my diploma allow me to register as a doctor in Bulgaria on the same terms as a Bulgarian graduate, and what Bulgarian level is needed?
- How many hours of Bulgarian are in the curriculum?
Keep the replies with your documents. Read the current NMC text yourself before paying; rules and notices change.
