Educational programs
As an initiator and partner in European educational project
TEMPUS the University of Chemical Technology and Metallurgy
(UCTM) collaborates with more than 30 European Universities.
The University, as one of the leaders in international academic
students exchange, takes part in European programs SOCRATES,
LEONARDO
DA VINCI, CEEPUS,
GRUNDVIK.
That gives its students the possibility to study for a short
or long time, to have practical works, or to do their diploma
in European Universities.
An Institutional Contract for the SOCRATES ERASMUS program was
prepared. There were two projects for joint working out on the
curriculum – in one of them ( for Bachelor’s degree
curriculum of specialty Chemical Engineering) UCTM is the coordinator,
and in the other (Master’s program in Economics) it is
a partner.
In the frame of Erasmus programs UCTM takes part in three thematic
networks – THENUCE,
ECTN,
ECTS.
As a result, a system of European credits (ECTS) are to be elaborated
and involved in active operative curricula.
The University has had very successful and active collaboration
with many German Universities, arranged, supported and financed
by the German Agency
for Academic Exchange (DAAD).
As a result, for more than 10 years UCTM’s students were
trained according to the German curricula in German in the specialty
Chemical Engineering
in German.
Every year students from this specialty hold their practical
training or work on their diploma in German Universities. There
are more than UCTM’s graduates studying in German post-graduate
programs.
From the 2002/2003 academic year the graduates from this specialty
are going to receive an extra German MS diploma issued by UCTM
and Otto von Guerike University in Magdeburg.
As a new element of this collaboration students from the former
Yugoslavia are trained in UCTM in specialty held in German financed
by DAAD through the Stability Pact. UCTM has a
Center for French Language Education (Filierfrancophone)
with a 10-year history that takes a very active part in all
international educational programs.
The Master’s specialty Industrial
Chemistry in French is training highly qualified bilingual
engineers that are up to the contemporary European requirements
using well-known French-speaking Universities curricula.As a
result and as an acknowledgment for the University high international
prestige, the UCTM’s Rector, Professor Kamen Velev was
elected to the Board of the Agency of French-speaking Universities
(AUF).
