| Some background |
| |
IUC was established in September 1992 under a joint Bulgarian – Dutch PSO project for cooperation of the Dutch government with Central and Eastern European countries. About twenty students enrolled in a 2-year course in hotel management in Albena summer resort. The non-profit organization Bulgarian – Dutch School of Management was founded in September 1993. Its purpose was to legalize the educational structure. Later the organization was re-registered under
the name International Institute of Management (non-profit organization). In September 1996, the new organization approved the establishment of a college under the Law of Higher Education by developing a project for accreditation and submitting it to the National Agency for Evaluation and Accreditation.
On April 2, 1998, the Accreditation Council of the National Agency for Evaluation and Accreditation awarded initial institutional accreditation to IUC. Subsequently, the new higher education school was approved by the Council of Ministers of the Republic of Bulgaria (Ordinance dated 23.08.1998) and opened, following a decision of the Bulgarian Parliament dated 05.05.1999 (The State Gazette 44/1999).
Today IUC is an independent private higher school which provides higher education and awards the qualification degree Bachelor after a 3-year course of study.
On 03.08.2006, by Act 29/03.08.2006 of the Accreditation Council of the National Agency for Evaluation and Accreditation, the College and its operations received a Good grade, and the institutional accreditation was extended until 2012.
Up to the present day, over one thousand Bulgarian and thirty-eight foreign students have graduated from IUC. The intake for last academic year is over 900 students, including 28 international students from the UK, Norway,
Russia, Macedonia, Turkey, Albania and other countries. |
