The State University of Bulgaria offers Doctoral (PhD) and Masters’ Degrees in English
Bulgaria is a member of the European Union since 2007.
The Bulgarian Ministry of Education has given the right to all universities to offer courses in English (eg, Medicine, Pharmacy etc.). Today, many Bulgarian universities allow foreign students to submit their theses in the English language. The PhD students communicate with their supervising Professor in English throughout the course of preparing the thesis and the final examination from the Review Committee is also in English.
No attendence of lectures is required to obtain a doctorate degree.
It is very easy for students to come and go frequently to Bulgaria during their studies.
The great advantage of doing a PhD in Bulgaria is that a PhD candidate may also work abroad and occasionally travel to Bulgaria, depending on the subject chosen, without having to spend time in labs and tutorials.
Studying for a doctorate degree is not considered distance-learning.
Why it is imperative to aquire a PhD Degree today:
1. Today's competitive job market requires the acquisition of more and more academic qualifications.
2. More and more professionals entering the job market hold a doctorate, either from local or from foreign universities.
3. Having a Phd Degree is necessary for an academic or research career.
4. It is considered a great asset for someone who wants to teach as a professor in secondary education (eg professor at a private school), in vocational training institutes etc.
5. Ph.D. holders have more opportunities in the private business sector.
Positions for doctoral students in othe European countries are extremely limited. Being admitted in a European University for a doctoral degree is almost impossible without the necessary academic references and the similarity of the candidate's research proposal with the research interests of the supervisor.
