The New Academic Year Was Officially Opened

It is a great honour to me as a Rector to open the ceremony for the 92^nd academic year of our glorious university whose spirituality is built on the traditions, efforts and dedication of many generations of lecturers, students and employees, pointed out in his speech Prof. D. Sc. (Econ.) Statty Stattev. He reminded that more than nine decades ago in the hardest years after the Liberation of Bulgaria Prof. Stephan Bobchev, the founder and the first Rector of the university, together with his colleagues and by the own funds have established the Free University of Political and Economic Science, the predecessor of UNWE. Speaking about the great authority of the university today, the Rector outlined that one of the proofs in this relation is the huge interest of the numerous prospective students.  For a consecutive year our university succeeded to fill up all the announced places even in August and it occurred in the conditions of demographic collapse, low results from the matriculation exams and a retained high score with compulsory exams for prospective students”, outlined Prof. Stattev. For the first time at the UNWE are admitted 300 students more who will study in a distance form of education in Sofia and the number of the first year undergraduates for this year is about 4000.
