Moldova has transferred the educational infrastructure of the former Taraclia State University to Bulgaria for use
In the spring of this year, based on a previously signed intergovernmental agreement, the Taraclia State University was transformed into a branch of the Bulgarian university from the city of Ruse named after Angel Kanchev. Now, the Ministers of Education of the two countries, Dan Perciun and Krasimir Valchev, have signed an agreement on the use of the property of the former university in Taraclia by the Bulgarian university for academic purposes. The assets remain the property of Moldova. During their visit to the university, the ministers met with students and teachers, and assessed the conditions for the educational process. They emphasized that the branch contributes to both the internationalization of higher education and the strengthening of cultural and academic ties between the two countries. Starting from the 2025-2026 academic year, the Angel Kanchev University of Taraclia will offer study programmes in 7 professional fields, taught in Bulgarian, Romanian and English. The university will issue diplomas recognised in the EU. The university will provide budget places for ethnic Bulgarians and Gagauz from Moldova and the region, and the Ministry of Education and Research will annually finance 40 budget places for Moldovan citizens of non-Bulgarian origin, thus ensuring equal access to higher education and promoting social cohesion in the region. // 28.07.2025 — InfoMarket
