How Sofia University compares

Against the other universities in Bulgaria on StudyPath, using each one's verified international fees and its own published housing prices. Universities are only compared with others charging in the same currency (and, for housing, for the same period), so no figure here has been converted. A ~ marks a year worked out from a per-term or whole-course fee.

Sofia University's lowest undergraduate fee for international students is €2,700 a year, for Biotechnology. Of the 4 other universities in Bulgaria we list with undergraduate fees in EUR, 4 charge more at their lowest. Their lowest undergraduate fees run from €4,500 (MU-Plovdiv) to €13,800 (AUBG).

Accommodation

Rooms in the University's own hostels. The university states this only as an approximate monthly price range on its "Being a student in Sofia" page for international students — it is not a per-room rate table, so no room types are broken out.

The same passage adds that the student canteens serve cheap food. Nothing is said on this page about what the rent includes.

Published by the university itself, not a live listings price. Actual cost depends on room type, availability and when you apply.
