History

Department of Electronics and Microelectronics

In 1987, a rapid increase in the use of electronics and microelectronics by the general population suggested the need for increased research and development in this field in Bulgaria. In 1990, the Faculty of Electronics at the Technical University of Varna was established under the auspices of the Council of Ministers of the Republic of Bulgaria. The school's formation united the department of communication equipment and the department of radio. The new school was given the task of preparing specialists to work in the fields electronic design, modeling, and design of electronic equipment and systems.

In 2011, the structure of the Faculty changed to include departments of electronics and microeconomics, communication engineering, and social and legal science. The school offers bachelor, master and doctoral degrees. Students from Eastern Europe and Turkey are welcomed.
