The Sofia University "St. Kliment Ohridski" is the first school of higher education in Bulgaria. Its history is an embodiment and a continuation of centuries of cultural and educational tradition in this country.
Organized education activities in Bulgaria date back to the second half of the 9th century.
During the period of the National Revival a new idea for opening a School of Higher Education was born.
The authority of the School of Higher Education grows with the cultural and educational mission it acquires after the Liberation of 1878.
