University of National and World Economy (UNWE)

Established in 1920, the University of National and World Economy (UNWE) in Sofia is the largest and oldest higher education institution of its type in Southeastern Europe. With an unequalled track record in Bulgaria, the university is considered a leader in European higher education, playing an integral role in furthering educational standards in business, economics, law, politics, and media studies. With over 20,000 students and 500 lecturers, UNWE is well known for its educational excellence. Under the motto ‘The Spirit Makes the Power’, UNWE strives to form highly educated persons who can lead European society to a better and more humane world. A key instrument for fulfilling this promise has always been UNWE’s partnerships with more than 160 higher education institutions from across Europe, Asia and the Americas.
