Step 2: Prepare & sit the Entry tests

Step 3: Submit the following paper-based supporting documents along with your application:

2. A copy of the document for completed upper secondary education (diploma/A-levels or secondary school leaving certificate). For applicants following the British curriculum, it is required to have 3 A-level subjects / GCE A-levels, two of them to be Biology and Chemistry. Where A-levels have a separately graded practical component, this is required and must be passed. We do not accept BTEC and Foundation programmes, IGCSE, O-Levels or AS-Levels as an entrance qualification.

3. A copy of the official transcript of all studied subjects in secondary education (high school) as well as the obtained final marks in the subjects

4. A document issued by an authorized body (the applicant's high school) certifying the right (eligibility) of the applicant to continue his/her education in higher institutions and universities in the country in which the latter has acquired his/her secondary education

Important! In some countries (e.g. Germany), the information in the requested documents 3 and 4 is included in the High school Diploma and applicants shall not submit the said documents (3 & 4).

(Before application, please have in mind the information from here. The information list shall not be legalized and submitted at MUV as it is not considered as an application document.)

All the above listed documents (2, 3 and 4) must be legalized (attested) along with apostille stamps, translated into Bulgarian and certified in accordance with the provisions of the international treaties of the Republic of Bulgaria with the host/issuing state. In the absence of such provisions – the general procedure for legalization, translation and certification of documents and other papers is applicable.

This means: certified true copies (where applicable) by the Ministry of Education or the issuing secondary school (only for documents 2 and 3), where not applicable by a Notary Public, certified with the Apostille stamps from the Ministry of Foreign affairs - for documents 2, 3, 4 and translated into Bulgarian language (as per the official requirements below).

For more information regarding the Apostille stamp and the authorities, authorized to issue Apostille, please refer to http://www.hcch.net or www.apostille.org

Copies can only be made from the original document. Copies of copies will not be accepted!

Legalized documents (documents with apostille stamps – 2, 3 and 4) need to be translated into Bulgarian in one of the following two ways:

• by a consular or Diplomatic official in the country where the document is issued; 
        or

• by a translation agency authorized by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Bulgaria (Translation offices in Bulgaria are offering this along with the translation service).

  Note: All authentications (apostilles and seals) must be original (wet stamps and seals are required on the application documents), which are to be submitted at Medical University of Varna. Photocopies of legalized documents will not be accepted! 
  
  5. A copy of the valid ID / international passport of the applicant (only those pages with the photo and data). The provided copy will be deleted after the information has been verified.
  
  6. Five recently-taken color photos /passport size/
  
  7. If the name of the applicant on any of the application documents (high-school diploma or higher education eligibility letter) differs from the name in applicant`s passport, a document confirming the change of the name/s – name affidavit (legalized and translated into Bulgarian as per the above described order) must be submitted along with the rest of required application documents.
