The admission route
All applicants sit Biology and Chemistry entrance examinations. A recognised secondary-school qualification, Bulgarian validation/translation documents and the published school-language grade requirement also apply.
The application window for February 2027 was 1 June–1 October 2026 and has closed. Non-EU hard-copy documents are listed as due 30 October 2026; that is not a new application deadline. Ask admissions to map UK school qualifications to the published criteria.
Use the application calendar and official admission office to confirm the dates for your intake and applicant category. A past calendar is not a current application window.
