About the company
Founded in 1976, the South-West University “Neofit Rilski” has gained a reputation as a leader in the science and education sphere in Bulgaria and the Balkans. There are currently over 12,000 students that study at the university with over 600 of those being international students.
Challenges
Information technology is one of the fastest-changing fields in the world. Therefore there is the expectation and requirement from organisations and recruiters for universities to provide up-to-date education in line with the latest innovations in the IT field.
However, there is a wide range of application development environments and programming languages available.
