Study what you were meant to study
Whichever programme you choose, the MedPilot journey is the same: honest eligibility advice, full application support and help long after you arrive.
Dentistry
A hands-on Doctor of Dental Medicine degree with early clinical exposure and modern facilities, preparing you for practice or further specialisation.
Pharmacy
A Master of Pharmacy covering pharmaceutical sciences, clinical pharmacy and industry placements, opening doors to community, hospital and industrial roles.
Veterinary Medicine
A full veterinary medicine degree with clinical rotations across small and large animal practice, recognised for work throughout the European Union.
Biology and chemistry, without the panic
Most Bulgarian medical universities assess applicants with entrance exams in biology and chemistry. They are very passable with the right preparation.
Our Standard and Premium packages include entrance exam guidance: what each university tests, the format you'll face, past-style questions and a preparation plan built around your timeline. Your case manager registers you for the exam and makes sure nothing is left to chance on the day. To qualify, your school grades in the relevant subjects generally need to average at least 62 percent of the maximum in your country's grading system; we confirm exactly where you stand in your free eligibility check. Some universities also ask for an English test.
