The goal of doctoral training in the doctoral program "Metrology and Metrological Assurance" at the Department of Electrical Measuring Techniques (EMT) is based on:
• enhancing the qualifications of the doctoral students;
• preparing them as highly qualified specialists for the industry;
• shaping them as highly qualified teachers at TU-Sofia;
• developing them as competent, knowledgeable, and capable scientists.
Achieving these goals is possible through the successful resolution of the following tasks:
• compliance with legal requirements during training;
• the training and consultation of doctoral students shall be carried out by habilitated teachers with a high level of professional and scientific qualifications;
• continuously improve and modernize the material base in order to intensify the research process;
• apply information technologies for searching, accumulating, and processing information and data;
• maintain a strong connection, close interaction, and respond to the growing interest of companies in the manufacturing and service sectors in applied research related to the objects of the specialty.

The main areas in which education is broadly developed are:

The topics of the doctoral studies within the doctoral program "Metrology and Metrological Assurance" are determined by contemporary achievements in the field of measurements and are aligned with national priorities related to the development and advancement of methods and tools for ensuring the unity of measurements.
The educational unit at the Faculty of Automation has 10 specialized laboratories for training doctoral students. Theoretical and experimental research within the doctoral program "Metrology and Metrological Assurance" is conducted in laboratories for "Metrology and Quality Control", "Electrical Measurements" - 4, "Instruments and Systems for Measurement and Control", "Measurement Technology", "Research Laboratory", "Information-Measurement Systems", "Measurement of Non-electrical Quantities", "Software Support for Measurement Equipment; Electromagnetic Compatibility of Measurement Equipment", "Environmental Engineering".
The successful development of the specialization "Information Measurement Technology" at the Faculty of Automation is an additional prerequisite for training within the doctoral program "Metrology and Metrological Assurance". The specialization is based on the following courses:
● Intelligent Measurement Equipment;
● Metrological Assurance;
● Metrological Control and Calibration of Measurement Equipment;
● Quality Management and Control;
● Instruments and Systems for Measurement and Control;
● Processing and analysis of measurement data;
● Software support for measurement instruments, information measurement systems;
● Measurement transducers of electrical quantities;
● Measurements and tests for electromagnetic compatibility,
● Measurements in ecology, medicine, and biotechnology;
● Measurement and control of environmental parameters
