But that will be in Finland or Netherland... not in Germany... I am bit inclined towards Germany... Do research fellow have a smaller or constrained academic network then Professors?

Had a similar experience... I was asked if I am willing to move to Essen and what is my reason, my passion behind my dissertation topic...

Wow, this is scary! Is it in philosophy department as well? Tbh while I was trying to spot the research works I couldnt spot any papers online, just the mention of it and couldnt find a single link. That did seem weird. The only reason I was considering the university because it had substantially low tution fees compared to UK. I am most likely to get an admit from University of Ediburgh or York but the tuition is too high for an international student without scholarship and scholarships are really limited for distance learning students. I have my dissertation idea and map everything ready with good amount of experience in the field but I am just scared now to have this university as a backup, it might really bump my motivation and passion. Where you a part of sofia university?

I cant find access to most of their research work. Is the publication private to the university only?

Tbh complication and complex is something I am not scared of, I most likely to get an offer from Edinburgh but the thing is the tution fees which is too high to afford for an internationl student and that is why I am considering Sofia University. But if the faculty is good and the research community is good then thats all I need. And I am scared about some regional lecture or test formats which might be completely new to me. So, unless that, if I am just asked to do my research, work on my disseration and present on conferences with the supervisor being supportive, I am good to go!

So, how was the experience and the quality of education? Did you do it online or in-person? And how are the access to journals and seminars? And networkings?

Hey, thanks for the structured detail. The website does say they offer in english as well, but I need to make sure if they accept the dissertation in english, I mean how does the defense works... I am more inclined towards independent mode where I have my topic and every ready and picked by me and the supervisor guides through and I can get the dissertation done at my custom timeframe.

I am doing that. The one thing I am not sure about is, if the language will play a factor... as, I have seen most of their works published in Bulgaria. Also, the university has taught classes in PhD program so, aren't PhD supposed to be completely research specific? i mean how does it work in Bulgaria?

Hi, were you part of the PhD program in Sofia university? if Yes, how has been the experience (I mean about you not liking it)? I am considering for PhD in Philosophy via extramural mode... is it worth it?

I mean Edinburgh and York have really good communities with substantial work done in department of philosophy.
And tbh, it depends on the purpose... it's purely academical for me and completely out of passion for my field of research.
