Halmstad University

At its beginning in the fall of 1963, on the historic and picturesque hill Sveta Gora (Holy Mount) in Veleko Tarnovo, the first university outside the Bulgarian capital with the brothers Cyril and Methodius was founded. Within the educational and cultural heritage of the Tarnovo Literary School of the famed 14th century, the University evolves. It maintains its status as a research institution of sciences and the arts, as well as as a prominent academic and science center. It was originally founded by the Central Committee of the Bulgarian Communist Party and the Council of Ministers as Brothers Cyril and Methodius Higher Educational Institute on 27 September 1962. On 15 September 1963 it opened its doors and was created on 4 August 1964 under the Presidium of the National Assembly. Four academic classes are taken in the first 340 –Bulgarian, Russian, History, and Fine Arts. The initial year of VTU has been conducted by a team of 25 professors and interns, 10-15 full-time professors, and professors at universities in Sofia and institutes of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences.
