University of Forestry
For more than 80 years now the University of Forestry has been the only university in Bulgaria providing education in forestry, forest industry and landscape architecture. In the 1990s the range of scientific fields was expanded to include ecology, agronomy, veterinary medicine and business management.
In 1923 the Faculty of Agronomy at Sofia University (SU) established the Department of Silviculture, preparing the way for the Forestry Division at SU to which the University of Forestry traces its roots. Two years later, in 1925, the Forestry Division at SU was set up, and on 20 February 1925 the Academic Council of SU decided that the division should commence its educational activities by immediately enrolling the first 10 students of forestry.
