Where is it?

If you’ve never heard of Blagoevgrad, you’re in for a pleasant surprise. The Rough Guide to Bulgaria named the town the ‘coolest place in southwest Bulgaria,’ and with good reason.

It’s a small, vibrant university town (20,000 of the 80,000 residents are students!) within easy reach of the capital Sofia (a 1hr drive or easy bus ride away.) There’s something for everyone in Blagoevgrad; the restored old quarter bustles with cafes and bars in a lively cultural scene set against beautiful architecture. More information here.

The basic cost of programme is 1500 € including the application fee, necessary study materials, accommodation in twin rooms and food. A number of scholarships (up to 75% fee reduction) are available for top candidates.
