Abaout the International University College

The International University College (IUC) in Bulgaria is a non-profit, independent, modern higher education business school established in 1999 with a decision of the Bulgarian Parliament. It aims at preparing competitive, highly qualified specialists in management, marketing, tourism and hospitality management, economy and computer studies, trained to meet the needs of the Bulgarian and the international business and to face the challenges of an ever-changing labor market.

In order to achieve its ambitious goals IUC managed to attract highly qualified and experienced teachers, some of them graduated from prominent universities in US, others visited leading universities in Europe. Most of the teachers are involved in research activities within the framework of the Research Center at IUC, which will be transformed in Research Institute this year due to its fast development. IUC publishes the Journal of Tourism Research, which strives to pool academic knowledge and provide managerial expertise in such fields as international tourism, marketing, international business and management (http://journals.wesro.org/wjejtr.html).
