The prizes

In 2016 the UNWE achieved its best ranking in the National Students Universiade. The sportsmen from our representative teams won the second place in the complex ranking. It is one position higher in comparison to the 3rd place last year. All the sportsmen were met with loud applause while they were coming in the sports hall under the sounds of majorettes marching (in the picture below).

Assoc. Prof. Slavova greeted the attendees on behalf of the Rectors Managing Body. “Being a good student is not easy but combining the studies and sports skills is a great challenge. We are very proud that at the UNWE there are such good teams”, added Assoc. Prof. Slavova. “Having high sports skills is very difficult. The amateur sport, of course, is the sport that gives birth of winners or creates the conditions for it. I wish you success in today`s competitions and fair play without contusions”, said in conclusion Assoc. Prof. Slavova.
