Study in Bulgaria

Bulgaria lies in eastern Europe, with a history shaped by its position between Europe and Asia. Roman, Byzantine and Ottoman influences form part of its cultural heritage, alongside distinctive traditions in language, music and food.

Pleven offers a city-based medical-school community, with specialist teaching and clinical facilities forming part of the university environment. Beyond the city, Bulgaria’s mountain landscapes, historic towns and Black Sea coast offer places to explore during study breaks.

Medical University Pleven teaches medicine in English, combining scientific study with clinical education. The university also has a specialist robotic-surgery centre, whose work includes gynaecological oncology.

Pleven’s admissions process includes an entrance examination. Medical Doorway organises UK entrance examinations and supports students beyond admission, with pre-departure briefings and practical help on arrival in Pleven.
