Thank you.
Very informative 😊
Jazak Allahu Khairan this has been informative, may Allah give you success.
Top man thank you bro
Jazakallahkhair
❤❤
Thanks but what is the dropout rate ? what are the chances of graduating once accepted in first year ? what's the ratio graduated/enrolled ?
Hi, this video is very informative thank you so much. Can you apply as a postgraduate who studied a stem based degree like biomedical science?
Hello 👋🏻 I want to inquire about where I can obtain explanatory documents related to the admission test, because I did not register through an agency . Thank you
Hi, I hope you're doing well and I really appreciate you sharing this information. I was wondering if it's easy to fail exams? As in, do you have to study a lot or is there a nice balance of studying and enjoying your time? Thanks!
Hi, thank you & no problem! In my experience, I can confidently say that as long as you’ve studied the materials in each subject, it’s very difficult to fail an exam. Most doctors are quite lenient and take into account your performance throughout the semester. There is generally a good balance of work and socializing throughout the year, despite the fact that exam season can be hectic
@@hxrrisali Btw is the entrance exam an MCQ, and if we apply independently will we receive enough resources from the university in order to do well in it?
@@KREZ10 Yep, the entrance exam is an MCQ test with a couple of open-ended questions. If you’re applying directly, the best resources to use can be found on the university website as the questions are quite similar to them. You can find all the resources for both the Biology and Chemistry exam here : mu-plovdiv.bg/en/admission/registration-form-for-biology-and-chemistry-entry-tests/
@@hxrrisali Thank you so much for all the help, May God bless you! So we should be grand as long as we know the content on these practice tests?
@@KREZ10 Yeah, I think if you’ve covered everything listed on their website then it should be more than enough to pass with a high mark
Hey Harris, hope all is good. I'm currently looking for the resources for the Plovdiv entrance exam. I can't find all the resources that are listed in the Syllabus guideline section. I can't find all the books so what do you recommend that I do? Thanks
Hi! I think if you go through the practice papers in Biology and Chemistry on the university website, along with some general reading from your notes at A-Level, you should be fine as it covers pretty much most of the syllabus
haris bro can u please guide me about post graduation in medical.i completed my mbbs from Pakistan
12:50 you did Birmingham dirty for no reason😭😭😭
Thankyou your video was very useful.
What is the total cost of living including uni fees ?
What is the minimum a level grade requirement to apply
Thank you! Fees were £8000, average price of rent is approx £350-£400, and shopping per week for me would cost around £40 (I only bought essentials as I used to get a lot of food delivered from the UK), so in total, approx £15,000. Maybe a bit more if you’re travelling frequently to/from home. As far as I know, minimum grade B in either Biology or Chemistry A-Level. Hope that helps!
How do you fund your studies? Do you have a part time job on the side? How easy is it to find work/partime job in Bulgaria?
Hi! Most students (including myself) get support from their families as there isn’t really much scope to work a part-time job here unless you’re fluent in the Bulgarian language. Personally, I helped tutor students online as a means to earn a little bit of cash, and since it was virtual, I was able to work remotely alongside my studies. I hope that helps :)
@@hxrrisali so would you have time to do a part time job in the case that you knew the language or would it still be difficult to work alongside studies?
@@ara3603 Hi! It’s definitely possible to get a part time job and balance working alongside your studies 👍
I wish I would have seen this video before paying the agency. Excellent video. A parent .. son joining 2024 batch.
Is the retake exam for the entrance exam harder or do they make it the same level of difficulty ? Thanks!
Hi! As far as I know, they keep the structure and content of the exam fairly similar for all sittings, so I don’t imagine it would be any more difficult if it’s a resit. Good luck!
@@hxrrisali Thank you!
Hi there! Do we need to only know A level biology or do we need to learn in more detail like for example the topic tissues in a level we learn basic defintions of the type of tissues and what a tissue is. Is that all I need to learn or do I go in more depth? Thanks!
Hi! Ideally it’s best to go through the syllabus listed on the university website as this is what they base their questions on - you can find the exam content and other resources in the video description 👍
This may be a bit of an odd one. But just wanted to ask how often can you travel back to uk during term time. Is it possible to take few days out each month to spend back home?
Hi! It depends primarily on your lecturer/professor, only because some are more lenient than others regarding attendance. Some expect you to attend every seminar, whilst others would be okay with you missing a couple of classes in a semester. For me personally, I used to travel home every 4-5 weeks for a long weekend, missing only a couple of extra days each time - but bear in mind I usually missed classes that weren’t too strict on attendance.
@@hxrrisali thanks that was very helpful.
Also on an average how many months do you get as holidays each year. Both for pre clinical and clinical years?
@@arslanjavaid4928 No problem :) We get approximately two months off (2 weeks for christmas, 1 week in february, 1 week for easter, 4 weeks for summer). That’s consistent from years 1-5. You get a little bit more time off in 6th year, but that just depends on how your doctor arranges your timetable for each rotation (i.e. sometimes they split you into smaller groups, and you can arrange with your group members who goes in for one week and who goes in for the next etc.)
Just wondering do I have to submit the application form personally or need a representative to submit an application form. Also, how can I get an equivalency certificate issued by the regional Department of Education in Bulgaria.
I'm also applying to Bulgaria and have the same questions, pls let me know how you applied and also if you get any answer to ur questions. btw are you applying directly or through an agency?
Hello, where do you send the documents to , I can't seem to find anywhere on their website.
Hi! You can send the documents via post to the university, their address is:
Foreign Student Admission Office University Information Center Medical University - Plovdiv 15 A, Vasil Aprilov Blvd. Plovdiv 4002 Bulgaria
Alternatively, you can hand in your documents personally by flying to Plovdiv and visiting the university - or, if you know anyone that studies here, they can deliver your paperwork on your behalf.
You can find out more information here on the website : mu-plovdiv.bg/en/admission/admission-details/application-documents/
@@hxrrisali Thanks , where do you apply for the admission exam or do you have to hand in the documents and then they send you an email.
@@ahmedhamid4554 I think you have to apply for the exam separately and then attach a copy of the confirmation to your application. The link to apply is here : www.ksk.mu-plovdiv.bg/international/
Should I apply to only one medical university in Bulgaria or to multiple universities?
Is there any guarantee that if i apply to, say Plovdiv, I'll get admission there?
Also, how many days prior should I go to Bulgaria (assuming I don't live in Bulgaria or in the UK) to look for an apartment close to the university?
Hi! As far as I know, it’s definitely possible to apply to multiple universities (as long as you do so before the appointed deadlines) - but bear in mind they each have their own entry exams and specific paperwork. I think almost everyone who applies to the university gets offered a place, as long as you’ve passed the entry exam and your paperwork/high school grades are accepted. There’s approximately 200-250 places offered per year. To answer your last question, I’d say it’s best to arrive 2-3 weeks beforehand just to adjust to the city and to find your ideal accommodation.
@@hxrrisali Thank you
Hii, is there some sort of email you have for some advice on the legalisation & apostille procedure as i’m having a hard time understanding a few things and the university aren’t really answering my questions in the extent i need them to be answered they’re quite vague w their responses
Hi! Yes, sorry I should have put it in the description box - my email is: hxrrisali@gmail.com
@@hxrrisali No worries! Thank you so much, please do keep an eye out for an email, as I will try to get one through hopefully by the end of today or beginning of tomorrow!
hi, i'm also applying to Bulgaria and have the same questions and confusions, pls let me know how you applied and also if you get any answer to ur questions. btw did you apply directly or through an agency?
Hello 👋 I want to study medicine in Bulgaria but can you guide me about part jobs for students in Bulgaria and how much can a student earn in Bulgaria to cover his expenses.
Hi! From my experience, there aren’t many opportunities to work a part-time job here because they require you to speak the Bulgarian language fluently. If you are able to learn the language, there may be jobs available in small cafes or restaurants - unfortunately I am unaware of how much they pay. Personally, I helped tutor students online to earn a little bit of money and I was able to balance this alongside my studies. I hope that helps :)
2-3 €/h Work 🥶
Hi! Harris I hope you are doing well
Is it possible to pay the tuition fees in instalments or get a loan?
Hi! I don't think the university provides student loans, and you have two options for paying the tuition fee : upfront at the beginning of the academic year, or in two installments: half at the beginning of the first semester (in september), and the other half in the second semester (in february)
@@hxrrisali can u help me out, how can I get a student visa
@@Lol-zg5bw Hi! I’m not too sure about the process for attaining a student visa as it was not required for my application, but you can find out more information here : visaforbulgaria.com/bulgarian-d-visa & www.mfa.bg/en/services-travel/consular-services/travel-bulgaria/visa-bulgaria
For international medical students who travel to Bulgaria for MBBS, which bank is best suitable for bank account
Hi! Revolut, Metro Bank, and TransferWise are the most popular amongst the students here
@@hxrrisali Thank you
Hi, what about Monzo?
@@nkemenebe7160 Hi! I think Monzo also works in Bulgaria, but I haven't personally used it
I have previously failed 1 A level exam (Chemistry), but I redid the exam and got an A. Can I still apply? My current results is AAB for Chemistry, Biology and Maths.
Hi, yes it’s definitely possible to apply with those grades! Well done :)
Hi I just did my GCSE's is there a ore med option in Bulgaria if you don't want to do a levels
pre med* sorry like a foundation course etc
@@munahr1419 Hi! Unfortunately I’m not sure about this, best thing would be to contact the admissions department. Good luck!
Nice upload
Planning to get admission for my daughter in 2024(British Citizen)
If you can send the details of the format that are required by school both at GCSE and A level
Hi! Unfortunately I don’t have a copy of the document I used, but you can ask the school to write a short letter that basically states she was a student from (start date) to (end date), during which she completed her full time education, and sat the necessary end-of-year exams in (subjects at A-Level). Ideally get it signed and stamped from the Head of Year/Vice/Principal etc.
Hope that helps!
@@hxrrisali thanks for coming back
Hi, Contact Study medicine Europe consultant Please google it. They will start to finish process of your child medical application.@@AY33UK
Alevel grade requirements in biology and chemistry ?
Hi, as far as I know, as long as you’ve achieved minimum B or above, you’re eligible to apply
Hi which agency did u use?
Hi! I didn’t apply with one, but I’ve heard InterHecs, StudyMedicineEurope, and MedConnect are quite good
You are so right. I used $4000 so will recommend people to apply themselves without agency
Is there a gym/mosque near, also an Islamic society? Ty
Hi! Yes, there are a few gyms located adjacent to the main university campus, they’re relatively cheap and quite popular amongst students. The mosque is located in the town centre (about a 20-minute walk or 5-minute taxi ride from the campus), and the Islamic Society is run by Plovdiv MSA - you can find out more information by joining this Facebook group : facebook.com/groups/1638310646446719/
Wrong. Pathophys is not mandatory exam to pass in 3rd year its internal med and gen surgery
Apologies, thanks for the correction!
Why didn’t you talk about the corruption that happens in the university? Once a lecturer starts to not like you they fail u on purpose. Most lectures and ordinary people are very racist. You guys that promote this this country should equally be blamed for exploiting innocent students. Talk about the drop out rates!
Hi! I’m not sure I can speak to that, since that has not been my experience. But, I have seen students fail exams and blame their professors rather than acknowledge their own lack of preparedness. I’d also add that although there are cultural differences, on the whole, the locals are friendly and helpful, and aren’t generally discriminatory.
Yes some students do fail because of the lack of preparedness. I guess we didn’t have the the same professors then. My professors started hating my group to the point they never even allowed us to ask any question and deliberately finished the classes in half the amount they were supposed to. It’s a very unprofessional university
