Studying for a UK degree in Bulgaria

[INSERT ASSET]

In Bulgaria, you’ll find many great opportunities to study for a UK degree. So if you have caring, job or family commitments that prevent you from travelling to the United Kingdom, you can still gain your dream qualification. 

These Transnational Education (or TNE) courses are designed, delivered, and quality-assured to the UK’s own rigorous standards and each leads to a UK degree. They can provide a pathway to the United Kingdom at a later date, either to continue your studies or to work, and you’re sure to benefit from their strong links with both UK and international business (just one of the reasons that graduates with UK degrees are among the most employable in the world). You may also find that studying for a UK TNE degree in Bulgaria is more affordable than studying in the UK itself.

Eligibility

You can apply to study for a UK-awarded TNE programme in Bulgaria if you have completed one of following qualifications:

  • High School Leaving Certificate with good performance and High School Diploma
  • GCE A-Levels 
  • International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma

    In addition, you must have evidence of English language proficiency, such as: 

  • IELTS
  • CAE
  • CPE
  • PTE

There may also be additional requirements depending on the course you choose. So we always advise you to check with the UK university that will be awarding your degree, and with the partner institution in Bulgaria where you will be studying.

If you live in a non-EU country, you may need a student visa to enter Bulgaria (Type D - long-term residence visa). These can be issued by a Bulgarian Embassy or Consulate in your home country. 

Find out where a Bulgarian Consulate or Embassy is located in your region, as well as full contact information.
