Digital technologies are at the core of modern industry and manufacturing technologies. There is a strong growth in demand for specialists who possess in-depth knowledge in the field of information and digital technologies. These generally include:

methods, tools, and technologies for designing, modeling, simulating, and adapting software systems;
knowledge and skills for their integration with modern digitized production processes and technologies;
technological capabilities of modern production machines and equipment;
software and 'know-how' for 3D parametric and topological geometric modeling;
tools and methods of virtual engineering;
discrete simulation and internet technologies;
methods and tools for building computer and industrial networks and communications.

Graduates with a bachelor's degree will be able to continue their studies at the "master" educational and qualification level, while outstanding students from the specialty are sent on the "Erasmus+" program for training and preparing their thesis at leading European universities and on topics assigned by leading European and global companies. Technical University - Sofia maintains multilateral relations and partnerships with a number of foreign higher education institutions and many companies. Therefore, the training in the specialty is aligned with the latest achievements in the field of technology, as well as with the educational and research programs of leading European universities and companies in England, Germany, France, Italy, the USA, etc.
