PhD students’ admission on a self-study basis

The admission of PhD students on a self-study basis is without any examination during the whole academic year. The applicant submits to the Head of the department his/her PhD thesis in its main part and bibliography in order to be discussed. Discussion is held during the Departmental Council meeting where positive or negative decision is taken on the presented project by open ballot.  When the decision taken by the Departmental Council is positive, the Head of the department writes a report to the Rector about the PhD student's enrollment on a self-study basis. For discussion and voting by Faculty Council, the applicant should submit a set of documents to the Scientific Department.  For more information, please e-mail to doktorantite@abv.bgThe Faculty Council elects the PhD student and takes a decision for enrollment by open ballot and simple majority. The scientific tutor, who is elected after the Council's proposal by the primary unit, is included in the decision. A senior academic in the respective specialty is elected as a scientific tutor.

The Rector of MU-Varna, based on a Faculty Council decision, issues an order for the PhD student's enrollment.  In the Rector's order for enrollment the following is included: 

а) Reason for enrollment

b) Type of PhD training – regular (state or paid), on a self-study basis;

c) The Faculty and the department in which the training is conducted;

d) Duration of training;
