Tuition fees The annual tuition fees for the academic year 2013/2014 for English language programs will remain the same amount - 8000 euro for citizens of countries which are not members of the EU and EEA and 15 646 64 BGN leva (paid form of education) for citizens of countries which are members of the EU and EEA. The annual tuition fee can be paid in one or two installments (at the beginning of each academic year or at the beginning of every semester). For sixth-year students tuition fee must be paid before the beginning of the state clinical internship (at the beginning of the academic year). Please note that the tuition transfer (if you choose to pay the tuition fee by a bank transfer) must be made in the name of the student and should also include his/her faculty number! Please also take into consideration that a transfer fee is usually payable and applied if sending money by a bank transfer. When transferring the exact amount of the tuition fee, the transfer fee might be deducted from that amount, rendering your tuition fee deficient. Accordingly, please contact your home bank prior to transferring the tuition fee to find out whether the bank deducts a transfer fee from the transferred amount. If yes, please pay the transfer fee apart from the tuition fee, because it is the student’s liability!
