06 - Bulgaria - Admission requirements
Citizens accepted into the higher education system are who have acquired a secondary education
diploma which gives them access to the continuation of education to a higher degree. This refers to
both citizens who have graduated their education in Bulgaria and citizens who have graduated abroad.
The admission of students to higher schools is conducted in compliance with the provisions of the
Higher Education Act, the State Requirements for the admission of students and Doctoral candidates
and the higher schools regulations in compliance with the higher schools autonomy rules in relation to
the selection criteria and procedures. Students and Doctoral students are admitted by means of an
admission exam. Higher schools can organise their own admission exams, organize joint exams
together with other schools on a contractual basis, acknowledge the exam results from another higher
school or acknowledge the results from the secondary education graduation exams as admission
exams to the higher school. Special alleviations and the order stated in the higher school regulations
are applied to the admission of students, belonging to groups at risk of social isolation as well as to
those who have demonstrated special success during their secondary education- prize- winners from
national and international Olympic competitions, people who have won medals at Olympic, world and
European championships. Candidate ranking is usually conducted on the basis of their exam grades
which include the admission exams grades and also the results from the respective subjects from the
secondary education diploma.
