The Academic Council

The Academic Council defines and implements the overall university educational, academic and human resources policies and passes resolutions on the university structure and teaching load. The Council approves university degree programmes, types of education and student degrees and issues teaching and research guidelines. The Council consists of 45 members, who are professorial and non-professorial members of faculty, students, doctoral students, and admin staffers. As per Bulgaria’s Higher Education Act, the Board of Trustees sits in the Academic Council and trustees have the right to vote.

The Rector presides over Academic Council meetings and is in charge of the overall university activities. The Rector is assisted by four Vice-Rectors and Assistant Rector.
