Education at the French Faculty of Electrical Engineering is recognized by the French state as equivalent to education received at a French university. The Faculty offers elite engineering education based on the French model across the following master’s degree programs:

 

1. Five-year master’s degree programs. The curriculum is modeled after the prestigious French Grandes Écoles and is unique for Bulgaria. It is conducted in the fields of:

Organization of training: During the first two years, students complete a comprehensive core module in Electrical Engineering (conducted entirely in French), after which they continue in their chosen specialization.

 

2. Two-year master’s degree programs (for candidates with a completed higher education).

The Faculty also offers 2 two-year master’s degree programs in the aforementioned two fields. They are intended for candidates who already hold either of the following higher education degrees:

 

Graduates of the French Faculty at Technical University of Sofia pursue careers as software engineers, telecommunications engineers, and engineers in the fields of energy, electronics, and automation. The recognition of their degrees by the French Republic, combined with a command of French on par with English, makes them highly sought after by multinational companies in Bulgaria, France, and countries around the world. 

 

The recognition of the French Faculty of Electrical Engineering by the French state is due to accreditation granted by the French Commission on Engineering Degrees (Commission des titres d’ingenieurs/ CTI). The accreditation is awarded with the highest possible rating, and graduates of the French Faculty of Electrical Engineering receive the French title of diplôme d'ingénieur. Thanks to this top-tier accreditation, the title is recognized not only in France but also in all partner countries within the European Network for Accreditation of Engineering Education, including Germany, the United Kingdom, Turkey, Ireland, Portugal, Russia, and many others. The Faculty is also accredited by the Bulgarian National Evaluation and Accreditation Agency.

The French Faculty of Electrical Engineering maintains partnerships with a number of high-tech companies where its students go on to pursue their careers, including PROXIAD, TRIXIR, Schneider Electric, Melexis, ABB Bulgaria LTD, Kromex Control, HP, IBM, and many others. Leveraging these partnerships with high-tech enterprises, the Faculty provides its students with scholarships as well as employer-funded internships in both Bulgaria and France.

The French Faculty of Electrical Engineering is a member of l’Agence Universitaire de la Francophonie (AUF). Funding from the AUF and scholarships from the French government facilitate the mobility of students and faculty at partner universities such as U.S.T. Lille 1, ESIEE Marne-la-Vallee, Paris, INSA de Rennes, INP de Grenoble, l’Universite de Mediterranee, Marseille, Ecole Polytechnique de Montreal, Canada, and others.  

 

The French Faculty of Electrical Engineering is committed to high-quality education, which includes:

 

Here operates the first doctoral school, which offers numerous opportunities to obtain a PhD degree under bilateral programs for cultural and scientific collaboration between Bulgaria and France.

Over its 20 years of existence, the French Faculty of Electrical Engineering at Technical University of Sofia has become a hub for francophones from Bulgaria and abroad.
