Medical University of Plovdiv

Not published yet. Last year (2026): Five exam dates: 15 April, 15 May, 16 June, 17 July and 18 August 2026. A re-sit date followed on 4 September 2026. Registration closed about 7 days before each date.

Still at school? An early Plovdiv date only helps if Plovdiv confirms you can take the exam before your results and send your diploma later. Its 2026 guide has no rule on this. Ask first: question 4 of the email we wrote for you.

More on the dates and rankings: how the score and ranking work.

Plovdiv's admission guide gives no cut-off for the English programme. Cut-offs quoted on other websites and forums are not official. Check the Rankings pages on Plovdiv's own site, or ask Plovdiv. Nothing official says an early date is easier.

What Plovdiv does publish: Biology and Chemistry marks count three times, the English mark once. The maximum score is 42.00 and the minimum is 21.00. A missing mark, or any mark below 3.00, takes you out of the ranking. If you skip the English test with a certificate, the guide does not say what English mark you get: ask the university. Applicants are ranked by score, in the order of the programmes they chose. If several applicants have the same score at the cut-off, all of them are admitted.

Biology and Chemistry marks count three times, the English mark once. The maximum score is 42.00 and the minimum is 21.00. A missing mark, or any mark below 3.00, takes you out of the ranking.

If several applicants have the same score at the cut-off, all of them are admitted.

Our arithmetic on the weights: chemistry counts three times, so each 0.1 less in your chemistry mark costs 0.3 points. Plovdiv does not publish how points become a mark, so nobody outside Plovdiv knows your exact mark.

You may sit more than one exam date in a year (see who can apply). Each date is paid for: EUR 300 per exam date: EUR 30 for data processing and EUR 270 for the tests. The September re-sit date costs EUR 400. Pay online by card only. If you cancel during the registration period, the EUR 270 for the tests can be refunded. The EUR 30 is not refunded. On admission you pay EUR 2,000. It counts toward first-semester tuition, and you do not get it back if you quit.

The guide does not say which result counts, or whether first-time applicants may book the September re-sit date. So ask Plovdiv.

No. Biology and Chemistry tests, online, on one day, in English. Biology comes first, then Chemistry: 45 minutes each, 90 minutes in total. Biology has six task types, and only the first is multiple choice. The others are true statements, matching, labelling a diagram, a comparison table and fixing wrong words in a text. Chemistry has 30 questions with four options and one correct answer. Each test gets a mark from 2.00 to 6.00, and 3.00 is the pass mark. Without an accepted English certificate, you also take a 45-minute English test worth 40 points. You may not use paper, a pen, a calculator or a periodic table. Your camera and microphone stay on, and the whole session is recorded. A lost connection cancels the exam, and the fee is not refunded.

Our practice is multiple choice only, so it does not simulate the other biology task types. Practise them with Plovdiv's free sample test and the drills in our past papers guide.
