Enrolment at Burgas State University "Prof. Dr. Asen Zlatarov" for the 2026/2027 academic year is about 6.5% higher than last year, the university said.
The Faculty of Pharmacy is admitting students for the first time. At the university's branch in Dobrich, a nursing course has started.
Rector Prof. Sotir Sotirov announced the results at a meeting attended by university leaders, deans, heads of departments and representatives of university units. He said this is not the first year of growth, and places are filled in almost all subjects.
Deputy rector for teaching Prof. Sevdalina Turmanova gave a detailed analysis of the campaign. It covers admissions by faculty and subject, the towns and countries the new students come from, and the information events held. Sotirov thanked her, the teachers and the administrative staff who ran the campaign.
The university held meetings with prospective students in Yambol, Sliven, Kazanlak, Haskovo, Dimitrovgrad and Kardzhali. Current students also took part and spoke about their own experience.
In October the Council of Ministers added to the list of research universities for 2026. It now has 14 names, and Burgas State University remains on it.
To reach more applicants and their parents, the university has stepped up its presence on social media.
