The Faculty of Electronics and Automation was founded in 1986.
Over the years, thanks to the dedication and efforts of the faculty, staff, and students, as well as the support of the Plovdiv industry, the Faculty has developed a modern infrastructure and attracted highly qualified lecturers. These conditions create a solid foundation for the Faculty of Electronics and Automation to provide modern, high-quality education to its students, engineers – bachelors and masters, across some of the fastest-growing engineering disciplines.
Currently, about 1000 students and PhD candidates are studying at the Faculty of Electronics and Automation. International students from Turkey, Greece, Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Macedonia, Nigeria, and many other countries are also enrolled at the Faculty.
The Faculty of Electronics and Automation maintains active international relations with universities in the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Sweden, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Austria, Greece, Turkey, and many others. Faculty members of the Faculty of Electronic and Automation visit these universities as guest-lecturers and researchers, while students complete part of their studies there under the Socrates-Erasmus program.
