Sofia University St. Kliment Ohridski in Sofia, Bulgaria

Applicants who want Medicine or Pharmacy in Sofia but prefer a broad university environment over a dedicated medical university.

Medicine and Pharmacy sit in different faculties, with different admission calendars and exam formats. Do not rely on one faculty page for the other program.

• Secondary-school diploma and transcript, legalized and translated where required.
• Proof that the diploma gives access to higher education in the country where it was issued.
• Passport or national ID copy, application form and passport-style photos.
• Recognition or equivalency documents through Bulgarian authorities where required.
• English proof or English diagnostic test if the university requires it.
• Certificate for acknowledged secondary education in Bulgaria, with Biology and Chemistry grades recalculated where required.
• Receipts for paid application or examination fees where the faculty requires them.

Bulgaria admission calendars are intake-specific. Check the official page before paying fees, booking exams or submitting legalized documents.

Sofia gives students access to Bulgaria's largest city, broad transport links, more housing choice and the wider university environment of Sofia University. The tradeoff is a higher cost base than Pleven or Stara Zagora, and Medicine and Pharmacy students are connected to different faculties and locations.

Compare tuition, rent, food, documents, flights and exam fees together. A lower tuition number does not always mean the cheapest total year.
