    Hi Aroosa, thank you soooo much for the information! This is gonna sound so silly, but in terms of phones, do you use the same phone that you had in the UK, or did you buy a new phone and sim contract in Bulgaria? Thank you so much! 😊

      No question is silly love. I used the same phone from the UK but I did buy a Sim from Bulgaria as it was easier for me. However, I know a few students who have kept their contracts and use their data etc with their original sim card. I just think it is easier to have a BG Sim and when I go back home I just swap it :)

      ​@@mayaveselinova1562 IMO it's inaccurate "Nobody knows what will happen"
      1.First of all, even if The UK leaves the EEA.
      Diplomas from outside the EEA are recognised as long as they meet the requirements as set out by the GMC.
      E.g. we have many Indian doctors, and india is not inside the EEA.
      As long as the degree meets the GMC requirements then it ok for it to be outside the EEA.
      2. Also just because the UK leaves the EEA doesn't mean to say that the GMC will all of a sudden decide not to recognise Medical qualifications from EEA countries.
      The GMC recognises medical qualifications from countries all over the world as long as they meet the GMC standards and requirements.
      So even if it stopped the automatic recognition of the EEA qualifications (which it probably won't)
      Then the qualifications would still be recognised on the same basis that qualifications from outside the EEA are right now.

      No sorry my love it is not possible. Each semester is 4000 Euros, that is 8000 Euros for one academic year for Sofia ,Plovdiv and Varna and 7000 Euros for Trakia and Pleven. However if you're within the EU, you may be able to get a loan from the bank ( However, Sofia medical university does not accept this, but I know Plovdiv does) if you contact the agency, link in the description they will be able to provide you with more information on that.

      Hey, you should look into medical schools in Romania. They are around your budget.
