National student fee
Public higher education institutions define their own fees, but maximum amounts are set by the government.
Student fees depend on the programme and field of study. The lowest fees are paid in social sciences, economics and law.
The first cycle fees in the state universities for full-time studies range from BGN 300 to BGN 1 450 per year and for part-time studies from BGN 115 to BGN 1 000. Annual second cycle fees for full-time studies range from BGN 300 to BGN 1 550 and for part-time studies from BGN 115 to BGN 1 000.
Certain categories of students are exempted from paying fees. They include orphans, persons with disabilities, war invalids and senior cadets in military schools.
Fees of international students are subject to different rules and are generally higher than those paid by Bulgarian students.
