During the first four semesters of their studies, students receive a solid fundamental and general engineering education necessary for a classical mechanical engineer – mathematics, physics, materials science, mechanics, strength of materials, finite element method, machine elements, thermal engineering, hydro- and gas dynamics, as well as in the fields of electrical engineering, electronics, informatics, and mechanical engineering technology.
In the following semesters, students study a number of specialized disciplines through which they acquire knowledge and skills in the field of transport technology and engineering:
- theory, design, and construction of transport engineering objects: internal combustion engines, automotive technology (cars, buses, trucks, tractors, motorcycles, etc.); railway technology (locomotives, passenger and freight cars, trams, metro rolling stock, etc.);
- dynamics, strength, and reliability of transport technology;
- technologies for production, maintenance, repair, testing, and diagnostics of transport technology;
- technologies for organizing the operation of transport vehicles and road and rail transport, as well as interaction with other types of transport.
The opportunities for student mobility provided by the "Erasmus" program and bilateral agreements between the Faculty of Transport and the respective organizations allow students to visit a number of universities and enterprises in Germany, France, Italy, Slovakia, Czech Republic, Poland, Romania, Turkey, and other countries during their studies.
Exchange programs with a minimum duration of 3 months for training, practice, or thesis preparation provide opportunities for further education and professional development in Bulgaria and abroad.
