In 2024, Varna University of Management (VUM) celebrates 15 years of its strategic academic partnership with Cardiff Metropolitan University in the UK. Over these years, 13 cohorts of Bulgarian and international students have benefitted from cutting-edge education to British standards right here in Bulgaria. As a leading business school in Eastern Europe, VUM offers the unique opportunity to earn both Bulgarian and British higher education diplomas without leaving the country.
To mark this milestone, VUM is offering 15 scholarships worth a total of €15,000 for talented candidates applying for Master’s programmes taught in English for the 2024/2025 academic year. Applicants need only to submit their initial application documents to the Admissions Office (admissions@vum.bg) between 15 August 2024 and 5 September 2024. Selection will be based on the motivation letter and undergraduate academic performance in case of high competition.
For nearly a decade, VUM’s Master’s programmes have garnered recognition in prestigious international rankings. The latest edition of the Eduniversal Best Masters global ranking places VUM’s Master’s in International Tourism at 12th worldwide, while the Master’s in Business Administration (MBA) is ranked 4th in Central and Eastern Europe.
VUM’s MBA programme stands out among renowned universities in Poland, the Czech Republic, Latvia, and Hungary, while the Master’s in International Tourism surpasses those offered by leading British, French, and Italian institutions. Notably, VUM is the only Bulgarian institution featured in the official selection of the top 1000 institutions and has been awarded 3 Palms of Excellence.
Both Master’s programmes at VUM are designed for working professionals, with the MBA programme being modular and the Master’s in International Tourism featuring evening classes.
The scholarships celebrating our 15-year partnership with our British counterpart are available for the 2024/2025 academic year (September 2024 and February 2025 intakes).
Good luck to all applicants!
