PU tuition fees
The academic calendar at PU is divided into two semesters, as in many other universities in Bulgaria. For convenience, tuition fees are calculated per year. One year of studying at PU will cost local citizens a minimum of 557 USD. For foreigners, the tuition fee is different — from 5,000 USD per year. Thanks to financial support programs, students have the opportunity to fully or partially cover the cost of education. The exact cost of programs and information on the availability of scholarships can be found on the website of the university.
Accommodation, transportation, study materials, meals and personal expenses are all things to consider before applying to university.

PU campus
The campus of the educational institution is located in Plovdiv. This opens up all the delights of life in a big city for students: a rich infrastructure, a large selection of entertainment, convenient transport, as well as more opportunities for internships or part-time jobs. However, for some students, such an abundance of opportunities can be distracting. The university students have access to the library. It is an integral part of learning. Students come here for educational literature or to do their homework. Student life at PU is filled with intercultural activities, as not only local students study here, but also students from abroad. The exchange of knowledge and experience, networking and new acquaintances — all this is an integral part of studenthood.
