About the University

Svishtov has played an active role in the history of Bulgaria for some nineteen centuries. The past of the Bulgarian people comes to life again in the rich and varied biography of the town. From the ancient town of Nove, dating from the early medieval period, through the dark period under Turkish rule, the bright years of the Bulgarian Renaissance down to the present, Svishtov has been important as a commercial, educational and cultural centre, a centre in the political struggles for national liberation, and the birthplace of key writers and intellectuals. Svishtov is a town of old commercial traditions, outstanding Renaissance figures and rich cultural development. And it is not by chance that the town has become the third largest university centre in Bulgaria. The Academy's benefactor, Dimitar Apostolov Tsenov who provided its endowment occupies a respected place in the ranks of 19 century philanthropists and humanists born in Svishtov. He was born here in 1852 and died in Sofia in 1932. Dimitar Tsenov was a large entrepreneur, merchant and stockowner, an ardent patriot and an advocate of cultural and educational development. On September 1, 1912, Dimitar Tsenov bequeathed his fortune to the citizens of Svishtov, leaving his assets in Svishtov and other parts of the country to the endow of an economic institute in the town. The Academy in Svishtov was formally opened on November 8th, 1936, marking the beginning of the development of higher education in the town.

Tsenov Academy of Economics takes an appointed and recognizable place in the academic world. The leading positions of the Academy in the system of higher economic education are the result of:
