Complete your higher education at home or abroad, but then apply your knowledge in Bulgaria, because the development of any country is based on young and educated people.

During the meeting, Minister Stojanov presented the activities of the institution and his work to the graduating students.
“We live in an open world and an open economy that gives you many opportunities to work, but the choice you are about to make is what determines that”, the Minister said. He pointed out that the opportunities for realization in the country are really many, and the developed technologies give a chance to work in a foreign company, even from home. “Today’s world is based on the knowledge economy.
