Some of the best years of my life

I would wholeheartedly recommend this university to any prospective student. I spent some of my best years there as a student. The city is great, quite small and full of students, very easy to get around and offers excellent dining and party options for students and visitors alike. The University offers excellent education programme and I've found myself at a competitive advantage over peers almost everywhere I've been. And a lot of it comes from the great opportunities, knowledge and teamwork I gained at AUBG. Facilities are great and getting better, social life is amazing and accommodation is very adequate with lots of improvements being done throughout.

Commendable lecturers

The curriculum provides a comprehensive overview of various aspects within the specialty, making the degree highly attractive to employers in Bulgaria. Although challenging, pursuing their programs part-time can be more manageable. New Bulgarian University offers more hands-on experience, equipping students with specific skills relevant to the job market. The lecturers are also commendable, offering support and practical insights that make learning more applicable to real-world scenarios, enhancing both the academic and professional development of students.
