Grades are the National Evaluation and Accreditation Agency's (NEAA), out of 10, as the register lists them. They are shown as facts, never used to rank, and a grade from one procedure isn't comparable with another's. Terms are compared with the date we read the register only; where a listed term has ended, the register lists no later decision, and this page doesn't say whether the institution is accredited now.

Capacity is the maximum number of students an accreditation decision allows — a ceiling, not the number enrolled. The register holds no student numbers; the ministry's Rating System, which has them, sits behind a browser check we don't bypass, and the national open-data portal refused our connection.

The register's current record for each field; earlier decisions for the same field are kept by the register and not shown. Bachelor's capacity includes professional bachelor's; a capacity the register gives as 0 or leaves blank is shown as —, since the register uses 0 even for fields with programmes. Some older records carry no grade or procedure.

What isn't here

Not in the register: enrolment, fees, entry scores and graduate outcomes. Faculties and branches are in it, but most carry no link to their institution, so they aren't listed here.

Students from abroad: the European Commission's Study in Europe profile says applicants apply under EU-citizen rules, through bilateral agreements or as international non-EU students, and should check each university's admission requirements.

Also in Sofia: "Lyuben Karavelov" Civil Engineering Higher School, Academy of Ministry of Interior, College of Management, Trade and Marketing, Medical University of Sofia, National Academy for Theatre and Film Arts, National Academy of Art, National Academy of Music "Prof. Pancho Vladigerov", National Sports Academy "Vasil Levski", New Bulgarian University, Sofia University "St. Kliment Ohridski", Technical University - Sofia, Theatre College "Luben Groys", Todor Kableshkov University of Transport, University of Architecture, Civil Engineering and Geodesy, University of Chemical Technology and Metallurgy, University of Forestry, University of Insurance and Finance, University of Library Studies and Information Technologies, University of Mining and Geology "St. Ivan Rilski", University of National and World Economy, University of Telecommunications and Post
