New Bulgarian Universityis a private university based in Sofia, the capital of Bulgaria. Its campus is located in the western district of the city, known for its proximity to the Vitosha nature park, and consists of two buildings (Building 1 and Building 2) housing the Aula, Library, University Theater, NBU Museum, UniArt Gallery, Medical Center and a Sports Center surrounded with open green spaces. The university has more than 100 halls, computer labs, language and simultaneous interpreting labs, a Mock Courtroom, an Arts Center with practice rooms and studios for students of music, fine arts, design and architecture with a total capacity of 2 500 seats.

We offer full time, distance, intensive and eLearning opportunities administered by the respective NBU Schools and organized in the Programs of Study. Some of the programs can be taken either on a full time or a distance learning basis.

Full-time degree programs combine the most demanding academic tradition with an interactive approach promoting independent learning.

Distance learning programs offer online feature videotaped lectures of courses held on campus, with accompanying printed and visual course materials, and regular consultations with course advisors.

Intensive (part-time) learning programs lead to Professional Bachelor’s degrees. They take three years to complete and are offered only at the local centers in Varna, Vidin or Plovdiv. Classes are conducted in three consecutive days (Friday evening, Saturday and Sunday) with assessment of student work performed the following week. Students in intensive learning programs do not use manuals or the MOODLE NBU platform.

eLearning is used as a tool to enhance both the full-time and distance study options. The MOODLE NBU platform provides access to eMaterials for each course including lectures, articles, projects and required reading lists. The platform offers opportunities for online consultations and communication among teachers and students, task assignment and test preparation, progress assessment etc.
