Thanks to the collaboration between MU-Varna and N. Y. Vaptsarov Naval Academy, the innovative programmes of Military Doctor and Military Nurse have been established, which are very popular amongst the prospective students.

Y. Vaptsarov Naval Academy Flotilla Admiral Prof. Boyan Mednikarov, the Chief of Staff of the Bulgarian Navy Cap. Kamen Kukurov, Acad.

In the congratulation by the Rector was said, "Since its establishment, the Bulgarian Navy has been capable of meeting the demands for officer cadres. Your remarkable progress is underway at the present time as well. I am proud of the fact that for 140 years already you have been able to treasure up and develop the necessary knowledge in order to build up and enhance the competencies of leaders and experts, capable of commanding the naval forces of the Republic of Bulgaria. Without your selfless work, without your efforts, knowledge and skills, unreservedly dedicated to the Naval Forces, the accomplishment of these lofty objectives would have been inconceivable."

Prof. Zlatislav Stoyanov and the entire management of MU-Varna were invited to attend the ceremony of awarding the first officer rank to the graduates of N. Y. Vaptsarov Naval Academy.
