5 Star experience throughout the entire Application process into Medical University-Varna for Medicine. 
I was able to get my documents sorted on time and was extremely well prepared for the entrance exams due to the materials provided by “Irish Doctors Bulgaria”. Moreover, my experience living here in Varna has been excellent so far. I was able to settle in quite fast and the exam materials provided by “Irish Doctors Bulgaria” allowed me to pass ALL of my exams and colloquiums in 1st year. I am extremely satisfied by the services provided by Neil and his Team!

I’m a first-year medical student, currently studying medicine at Medical University Varna, Bulgaria. I know for sure this dream of studying at medical school was only made possible with the help of Irish Doctors Bulgaria. I originally had been aiming to achieve enough points to attend medical school at RCSI after completing my leaving cert. Unfortunately I did not make enough points to do so. I’m sure some of you will be in the same boat! Because of that, when given the option to study abroad, I felt unsure about doing so as any 17/18 year old would going out in the world on your own. Before I discovered this company, I had problems with entrance exam resources, documents, apartment hunting and the sorts. I was originally with a company who gave me the wrong materials for the entrance exam and who didn’t give me nearly as much reassurance or help in my application process. I had almost lost my place in MUV and felt crushed. However after one tearful phone call with Neil Smith and being greeted with great hospitality, detailed advice and immense help on what to do from Irish Doctors Bulgaria, that reality flipped. On top of that, moving abroad to study medicine in Varna became less scary as it would’ve been otherwise. With Irish Doctors Bulgaria I received help with finding an apartment, the correct exam materials (even a free zoom call going through it all), advice on settling in first year and resources such as ankis to help tackle exams in first year too! Neil Smith was careful and organised, made sure all details were correct upon my arrival in Varna, on top of schedule with any deadlines and was always willing to answer any questions I had with great detail and helpful information. A heartfelt thank you to Irish Doctors Bulgaria for helping me start my medical journey on a firm foundation and especially making realise that my dreams could come true!

On top of that, they helped me settle in to Varna which helped me settle in a lot quicker. Thanks to Neil, I could focus on my studies and do really well on my tests and exams because of all the study material Neil had provided and given me as well as academic support and help. I can't recommend Irish Doctors Bulgaria enough because of how efficiently Neil helped me with everything and how amazing their service was.
