Sofia University

The Sofia University "St. Kliment Ohridski" is the first school of higher education in Bulgaria. Its history is an embodiment and a continuation of centuries of cultural and educational tradition in Bulgaria.

Organized education activities in Bulgaria can be traced back to the second half of the 9th century.
During the period of the National Revival a new idea for opening a School of Higher Education was arisen. Officially lectures began on October 1, 1888 almost unnoticed by the public. This is the birthdate of Bulgarian university education.


Over the years the Sofia University turns into an academic and scientific center on the Balkans which gradually becomes a fully developed academic institution with European prestige. Today the Sofia University "St. Kliment Ohridski" is the largest and most prestigious educational and scientific center in Bulgaria.

The main building is the Rectorate and is a spectacular architectural sight, built with the money which were donated by the Evlogi and Hristo Georgiev brothers. The Rectorate is situated at 15 Tsar Osvoboditel Blvd. The Faculties of Mathematics and Informatics, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Journalism and Mass Communication, Theology, Economics and Business Administration, and Pre-school and Primary School Education are to be found on different campuses in Sofia.
