Why should you trust us?
90% of our students study abroad for free, with a scholarship or loan.
Study Buddy is not only a consultant but also a mentor to its students. In the age of technology, artificial intelligence and social networks, the opportunities for education outside of Bulgaria are truly vast. This is great news for all young people, but at the same time, the amount of information a prospective student has to sift through and research before making one of the most important decisions of their life is overwhelming. This causes a lot of confusion and bewilderment - where to start and what the whole process should look like. This is where the role of a consultant as a Study Buddy comes in - to listen, support, dispel all misconceptions, myths and concerns, encourage and guide. Then to be with the applicant throughout the entire process - from the collection of documentation, through application and departure.
It is important for us that you are well informed about your educational opportunities, and that is why we always offer quality and top universities, whose names you can see in the rankings of the best universities in the world. Our desire is not only to submit your documents, but also to help you improve your skills and knowledge and to be sure that you have made the best choice for your education. Therefore, you can be sure that we will approach your application individually and extract and squeeze out of it your best qualities that will help you make your way to your dream university abroad.
We pride ourselves on working for our student applicants, not universities, and always put the applicant's best interest first.

When is the best time to have a consultation?
If you are interested in applying for a bachelor's degree after secondary education, then no earlier than 10th grade, but also anytime in 10th, 11th, 12th grade.
If you are interested in applying for a master's degree after a bachelor's degree, then during the last courses of the study.
The important thing about orientation, applying and going to a university abroad is to realize that this is a long process that requires time and patience and at least a few months of working with a consultant, sometimes even a year. The essential thing in such moments is not to lose faith and desire, but to boldly embark on the adventure called "studying and living abroad".
