We are proud to share the excellent results of Varna University of Management (VUM) in this year’s edition of the Bulgarian University Ranking System, published by the Ministry of Education and Science. The 2025 ranking once again confirms the university’s steady growth and the high academic standards it has maintained for nearly three decades.
This year, VUM retains its prestigious 2nd place in Professional Field 3.9 “Tourism.” This remarkable ranking is a testament to the strength and quality of our tourism programmes. Our students benefit from modern teaching methods, international case studies, and real-life practical tasks that prepare them to become competitive leaders in the global tourism industry. The integration of sustainable practices, innovative approaches, and international internships—an essential part of VUM’s academic process—is especially highly valued.
VUM is also ranked 4th in Professional Field 3.7 “Administration and Management,” highlighting the university’s strong position in business education. Our programmes focus on developing analytical and leadership skills, working on real projects, participating in business simulations, and studying in an intercultural academic environment. Our students graduate as professionals ready to manage change and achieve long-term success in the contemporary business world.
It is important to note that in both fields—Tourism and Administration & Management—VUM ranks first among all universities in Varna, further emphasizing the institution’s leading role in the region.
These excellent results are the outcome of the dedication and hard work of VUM’s entire academic community—lecturers, students, and administrative staff. VUM offers one of the most international learning environments in Bulgaria, attracting students from nearly 50 countries. This global orientation is key to modern education, fostering cultural exchange, global thinking, and real opportunities for career development both in Bulgaria and around the world.
The results of the Ranking System motivate us to continue upholding high academic standards and implementing innovative teaching methods. We extend our gratitude to all VUM students, lecturers, and partners—this success is shared!
