Sofia University St. Kliment Ohridski

Sofia, Bulgaria

Sofia University St. Kliment Ohridski is in Sofia. Its academic-history page, last modified 11 December 2012, calls 1 October 1888 the birthdate of Bulgarian university education and says the provisional statute recognised one faculty, History and Philology. The same page states that in 1904 the School was transformed into a University, and that in 1905 it received the name Sofia University St. Kliment Ohridski. The university’s English site lists bachelor’s degree programmes, master’s degree programmes, and PhD students. The history page does not state a current faculty list or a current student count, and it does not state a tuition fee.
