The number of Bulgarian applicants for higher education outside the country has increased by 11.6 percent, BTA reports.

Data from the current campaign for study abroad applications by Integral consultancy show that young people are still choosing to apply for higher education in two or more countries at the same time. So far, 16.5% have chosen universities in two or more countries, up from 15% in 2022.

The most common combinations are the Netherlands and the United Kingdom or the Netherlands and Belgium because of the fees and programmes at the universities.

There is a new trend among the most sought-after field of study - that of natural sciences. First place is still held by business and management (31%), followed by mathematics, physics, astronomy (30%) and computer science (26%).
