Typically, you have lectures, which are for all students in your year, as well as seminars, which are lessons for a small group of students in your year where you practice what you have learned so far. Usually, study programs include compulsory and elective courses as well as internships. Often, Bulgarian is taught as a subject in order for you to adjust to life abroad and learn a new language.
