In 2004, the Academic Council of Konstantin Preslavsky University of Shumen decided to establish a Faculty of Technical Sciences. The faculty was officially founded by Government Decree № 37 on February 27, 2006.
The Faculty of Technical Sciences operates in line with the university’s mission. Its main goal is to prepare highly qualified specialists in technical fields to meet the needs of both the regional and national labour markets.
The academic community is committed to strengthening the faculty, achieving successful accreditation in its professional fields, developing modern educational facilities, and ensuring the quality of both academic and administrative staff. Currently, all professional fields have been granted accreditation by the National Agency for Accreditation.
There are 16 specialised laboratories equipped with modern computer systems, tools, and applied software in the Faculty. Its academic staff actively participates in national and international research projects and scientific forums. Both students and lecturers also take part in the Erasmus Programme.
The Faculty of Technical Sciences maintains strong partnerships with leading academic institutions in Bulgaria and abroad, as well as with various organisations and companies. It also hosts a branch of IEEE, whose Faculty Chair regularly takes part in the annual forums held in different European capitals.
