Blagoevgrad, BulgariaPOTENTIAL – not yet offered / not confirmed
🟢 Rich Faculty of Economics incoming catalogue (tourism, marketing, management, finance); per-course teaching language not stated
English-taught programme: The Faculty of Economics publishes an Erasmus incoming-student course list (about 130 bachelor and master courses, 3-9 ECTS) with a large Department of Tourism block. The list does not state the teaching language per course, so English delivery should be confirmed with the partner; B1 English or Bulgarian is the usual requirement. Incoming exchange contact: erasmus@swu.bg.
Potential matches only. No HMU Business Administration & Tourism student has studied at this partner yet, so there are no recognised courses. The matches below are an indicative assessment by the IRO, based on the partner’s published English programme vs the HMU Business Administration & Tourism study guide. They must be evaluated and approved by the departmental academic coordinator before any agreement is used.
