STUDENT MOBILITY IN BULGARIA

Students in Higher Education may spend a study period from another participating country in the framework of agreed arrangements between universities. They generally receive a grant to help offset the mobility costs of studying in another country, such as travel, language preparation and differences in the cost of living_. Their award depends on several elements which vary from Country to Country.

FULL ACADEMIC RECOGNITION for the study and traineeship period carried out abroad must be ensured before departure, generally by the means of an ECTS Learning Agreement.

The program is open to all higher education students (up to and including doctorate) from a participating country, except for students enrolled in their first year of Higher Education.
