Consecutive Academic Oscar for the Most Prestigious University According to the Employers

The University of National and World Economy  was once again awarded the Academic Oscar for the most prestigious higher education institution in the professional field of Economics according to employers and lecturers in higher education institutions at the awarding ceremony for universities ranked at the first place in the rating of higher education institutions.

For the seventh consecutive time the 24 Hours newspaper awarded the Academic Oscars. In the current year it was in the presence of the Vice President of the Republic of Bulgaria Iliana Yotova, ministers of education and science from the Bulgarian governments after 1990, the mayor of the capital Yordanka Fandakova, business representatives and students.

There are not many institutions in the country that can bring together former ministers in one room. It should include the members of the Education Commission, not just the executive power. My kind words are also for 24 Hours newspaper. For 25 years its team has organized over 220 public initiatives. I know of no other institution or media that perseveres so much and tries to help and show solutions to decision makers", said also Iliana Yotova.

The Rector Prof. Dr. Dimitar Dimitrov received the award from Mila Valkova, Senior Manager of Recruitment, Employer Brand and Motivation and Retention at Kaufland Bulgaria.

According to Georgy Stoychev, Director of the Open Society Institute – Sofia who prepares the Rating system for higher education institutions in Bulgaria, four positive trends can be identified: a lasting trend towards improving the realization of graduate students, increasing the quality and quantity of scientific publications, enhancing the competitiveness of Bulgarian higher education and increasing public confidence in higher education institutions.

In Bulgaria the ranking of universities is a relatively new phenomenon, it has existed for about 15 years, when it began to be implemented on the initiative of 24 Hours newspaper and since 2010 it has been institutionalized. The Rating system of higher education institutions in the country compares 52 higher education institutions within 52 professional fields.
