What Study Programmes and Admission Information Does MU-Varna Publish Online?

Updated

Medical University "Prof. Dr. Paraskev Stoyanov" – Varna (mu-varna.bg) publishes its admission and programme information in Bulgarian under the Прием (Admission) and Специалности (Programmes) sections of the main menu, with an English version available via the BG / EN switch. Prospective students can find the list of faculties, the specialities offered in each, and separate entry points for specialists, doctoral candidates, and continuing education — but the site does not publish tuition amounts or deadlines in the navigation itself, so those details must be checked on the linked pages.

Where the admission content lives

The site's main navigation groups everything a prospective student needs under two headings:

Menu item What it covers
Прием (Admission) Entry point for applicants; links to Специалности (Programmes), Специализанти (specialists in training), Докторанти (doctoral students), and ЦПО (continuing education)
Специалности (Programmes) The programme catalogue, also reachable from the Студенти (Students) menu
Учебни такси (Tuition fees) Fee information, listed under the Students section rather than under Admission
Академичен календар (Academic calendar) Key dates for the academic year

If you are starting from scratch, open Прием first, then follow the Специалности link. The same programme list is duplicated under Студенти → Специалности, which is useful if you land on the student pages first.

Faculties and the units that offer programmes

The university's programme portfolio is organised around four faculties plus a college and a department. The Факултети, филиали, колежи и департаменти page lists them:

  • Факултет Медицина (Faculty of Medicine)
  • Факултет Дентална медицина (Faculty of Dental Medicine)
  • Факултет Фармация (Faculty of Pharmacy)
  • ФОЗ (Faculty of Public Health)
  • Медицински колеж (Medical College)
  • Департаменти (Departments, including communications, languages, and sport)

Each faculty page is the place to confirm which specialities sit under it. The site does not present a single combined table of all programmes across faculties, so expect to move between the faculty pages and the Специалности list.

Separate tracks for specialists, doctoral students, and continuing education

The admission menu splits applicants into distinct audiences, and each has its own page:

  • Специализанти — for physicians and other graduates entering specialisation training.
  • Докторанти — doctoral candidates; the site also has a dedicated Докторантура и развитие section with a Докторантско училище (Doctoral School), Конкурси (competitions), and Процедури (procedures).
  • ЦПО — continuing professional education.

If your question is about postgraduate specialisation rather than a first degree, go directly to these pages instead of the general programme list.

Language options for international readers

The header carries a BG / EN switch. The English version is the practical route for readers who do not work in Bulgarian, but be aware that the navigation labels quoted above are the Bulgarian ones — the English interface translates them, so match by position in the menu rather than by exact wording. The site also has an Еразъм+ and Международно сътрудничество (international cooperation) section, plus a Студентска мобилност page, which are relevant if you are coming in through an exchange rather than direct admission.

Practical steps to find your programme

  1. Open mu-varna.bg and switch to EN if needed.
  2. Go to Прием (Admission) and open Специалности.
  3. Identify the faculty that owns your intended programme using the Факултети, филиали, колежи и департаменти page.
  4. Check Учебни такси for fees and Академичен календар for dates — both sit outside the Admission menu.
  5. For postgraduate routes, use Специализанти, Докторанти, or ЦПО instead.

Common sticking points

  • Fees and deadlines are not on the Admission landing page. They live under Студенти → Учебни такси and Академичен календар, so don't conclude the information is missing if the first page you open is thin.
  • The programme list is split by audience. A speciality you expect to find under first-degree admission may be listed under Специализанти if it is a postgraduate qualification.
  • The site relies on JavaScript. The homepage shows a notice asking you to enable JavaScript, so a browser with scripting blocked may render menus incompletely.
  • Bulgarian labels persist in the English view. Use menu position as your guide when translating.

The site is a navigation hub rather than a prospectus: it tells you which faculties and programme categories exist and routes you to the right sub-page, but the specific entry requirements, fees, and dates have to be read on those linked pages.
