Ruse and the University of Ruse

RUSE is the largest Bulgarian city on the river Danube. Nineteen centuries ago it emerged as a Roman settlement, Sexaginta Prista. In the Middle Ages Ruse was known as Roustchouk. Now Ruse is not only a place of rich and long lasting historical and cultural traditions linking us to our European heritage, but also a busy industrial, economic and cultural centre.

The UNIVERSITY OF RUSE has traditions in the training of international students. In the last 75 years more than 1 000 citizens from all over the world – Europe, Asia, Africa, Latin America , obtained very good vocational training at the University. A precondition for this is the high qualification of the faculty members and the established necessary equipment. More than 8 500 students receive training in the state-of-art classrooms and research laboratories.

The STUDENTS' HOSTELS offer very good on-campus accommodation for 2400 students. The hostels are situated near the university premises, the student refectory, the post office, sports facilities and student culture club. There are also provisions for quick and easy transport to various parts of the city.

The STUDENT REFECTORY, cafeterias, the medical centre, the kindergarden and creche, the post office and job centre, the shops and the entertainment centre are all in the same part of the campus.

The UNIVERSITY LIBRARY contacts with Baltimore International Book House, Open Society Fund and Soros, Eurika and Sabre foundations.
