Psychology Education

There are 10 universities providing psychology education in Bulgaria – 8 public and 2 private. Some of the psychology departments are accredited by the National Accredited Commission and some are in the process of receiving such accreditation otherwise they will loose their right to teach. The Bulgarian Psychology Association is not a part of the accreditation body.
Admission requirements vary between universities. In general applicants have to complete secondary education and pass entry exams. In the public universities the tuition fee is about 200 leva ($150) per semester. In the private universities it is about 1000 leva ($750) per semester.
The curriculum of bachelor degrees is common regardless of the university, although the curriculum of master degrees varies between universities. Some concentrate more on educational psychology, others on organizational or clinical psychology etc.
Lecturers are required to complete habilitation. Without habilitation one can work as an assistant and lead workshops and seminars.

Half of psychology graduates find jobs as clinical psychologists, educational psychologists, human resources managers, teachers or continue their education to a doctoral level and pursue an academic carrier. The other half go on to work in business, secretaries etc. or continue their education on different master programs.
