The University of Security and Economics is one of the youngest universities in our country. It was initially established as a College of Economics and Administration – Plovdiv, with a resolution of the 39th National Assembly dated 29.10.2003, promulgated in issue 97 of the State Gazette dated 04.09.2003 and transformed with a Resolution of the 43rd National Assembly, promulgated in issue 38 of the State Gazette dated 26.05.2015. At present, the University has about 1500 students in ten majors. More than 2800 people have graduated and have been awarded a Bachelor's degree. Despite its short history, the University is developing dynamically and has won recognition as one of Plovdiv and the region's most prestigious universities. Since the academic year 2014/2015, the professional sphere of National Security at the University of Security and Economics has been one of the priority majors in which students are trained. This major was accredited by the National Evaluation and Accreditation Agency (Record № 23/30.10.2013). Thus the University of Security and Economics became the first and the only University in the district of Plovdiv that trains people to work in the national security system – the police, security activities, corporate security, and others. The University of Security and Economics is the first University in Plovdiv that has been awarded Quality Certificate EN ISO 9001:2008 issued by Moody International on 10.03.2006. In November 2011, the European Commission gave the University an Extended Erasmus University Charter. The charter allows students' education, the organization of students' practical training, the exchange of lecturers, and the cooperation and joint work with universalities in the European Union. At the University of Security and Economics, there is a Career center that follows students' education and guides them to work in leading Bulgarian and foreign institutions and companies. The University of Security and Economics has an installed information system with a touch screen. Along with the detailed university website, it allows fast access to each student's status and provides news and up-to-date information about the events taking place at the University. The University of Security and Economics is one of the first private universities to implement a unique social program. It is implemented in the following directions: preferential training at lower social fees for socially disadvantaged students upon the submission of the necessary documents, which is used by 5% of the students free-of-charge education of orphans and young people on unequal footing free-of-charge education of children of police officers who have died in the line of duty scholarships for excellent students amounting to 1000 leva a year per student. The implementation of the social program has been guaranteed by signing contracts with the Ministry of the Interior and the Academy of the Ministry of the Interior to support the children of the police officers who have died in the line of duty the University strictly adheres to. As part of the implementation of the University of Security and Economics's social program, a National training center for socially disadvantaged students will be opened at the University, where up to 50 students on unequal footing will study.

Major emergencies such as plane and train crashes are critical incidents that are typically complex, initially chaotic, and often challenging to manage. These incidents require a team-based approach in which the activities and efforts of those involved are effectively co-coordinated and adequately directed. Good communication, effective use of resources and information, and a clear command policy are essential if the many problems arising from such incidents are identified, prioritized, and resolved. Officers' training to develop these command skills requires a learning environment where the complexity, chaos, and challenge of a real incident are recreated. This is where simulation is so useful as a training tool. Both programs that are currently in use, the XVR and ISEE simulation systems, have been designed and built from the ground up to create live critical incidents, thereby allowing command officers to practice their skills, to solve command problems, and to confront and overcome the many challenges of such events. At EASS, we believe that innovation is a foundation of learning. We value a corporate culture where digital learning experts and professionals merge their competencies to design and develop modern learning environments and exercising possibilities. We help to transform information into experience. We develop and use a different set of digital technologies to strengthen resource-intensive tasks, crisis management, and tactical and strategic management into one service while covering all internal security services. With the use of an interactive 3D environment, its interfaces, and logistics, it is possible to create immense immersion for students to engage with authentic problem-based situations. The given environment enables us to roleplay through the whole chain of crisis management, should it be an event of an environmental catastrophe, road accident, sudden attack, riot, or any other incident posing a threat either to people's lives or property. Until now, preparation for challenges like that has been costly and time-consuming, but digitally simulated study situations help to save time and increase the quality of the training at the same time. We also deal with other education technology developments to support our lecturers and trainers with new solutions. The selection ranges from full digital e-learning support of all EASS study programs to specific areas like geoinformatics, augmented reality, UAV, and robotic solutions. The EASS always cooperates with state agencies and services, such as international agencies as CEPOL and FRONTEX. International cooperation enables us to exchange experience and best practices effectively when designing training, developing methodologies, and evaluating training. Significant projects: Goenka (geoinformatics for trainers) Fast and Efficient Asylum Procedure TARGET (Training Augmented Reality Generalised Environment Toolkit, Horizon 2020) Roborder (development and demonstration of a fully-functional autonomous border surveillance system, Horizon 2020) Driver + (Driving Innovation in Crisis Management for European Resilience, Horizon 2020) You are welcome to the only institution of higher education teaching specialty courses of internal security in a little country called Estonia – the Estonian Academy of Security Sciences! We are the only institution preparing experts for internal security institutions on three levels – master's level, higher professional education level, and vocational education level. Future police officers, border guards, rescuers, prison, tax, and customs officials receive excellent preparation from our academy. We value cooperation with both national and international partners. In the framework of cooperation, we have developed the current curricula of the EASS and are ready to cooperate both as learners and as teachers. Our students, lecturers, and employees often visit our partner institutions of higher education abroad to acquire new knowledge and skills. We kindly welcome everyone to visit us, too, since we have many things we are proud to present and introduce. Many of you are aware that high-level e-services and technologies and their fast development are seen as Estonia's strengths. The younger generation also knows that Estonia is the birthplace of Skype and that one of the latest and most popular services is e-residency. In the EASS, we similarly pay much attention to the development of learning methodologies. Innovative approaches and a modern learning environment with modern devices and instruction are prerequisites for being a credible partner in international projects and joint curricula. We are proud of our frequent and long-lasting cooperation with international security organizations. In cooperation with other countries, we can establish a ground for more efficient security in the whole world, the development of strategies, the conducting of studies, the establishing of values, the achievement of aims, and the specific new knowledge. In the future, we can thus together create the best international system of internal security. We are very ambitious, as many small countries are. Every day we work towards making the EASS an equal partner to our cooperation partners – the institutions of higher education in internal security in Europe. Our vision is supported by the state's strong efforts made when ensuring people's security, which in some parts presupposes international experience and cooperation to make it better and more efficient than before. We are open to cooperation and waiting for you to come and see the opportunities the EASS offers – always in the name of better cooperation and internal security. View full university

We develop human resources to be able to create a future of trusted information security. We live in the age of information. As various forms of information are spreading across the world, many diverse forms of businesses and activities are springing up to use them. We have encountered different types of information security problems in recent years, including targeted attacks against specific corporate organizations, phishing, information leakage, and cyberattacks against interested nations. It is challenging to see IT progress without solutions to these problems. To cope with this situation, we need various specialized human resources such as engineers, practitioners, and researchers in information security. Obtaining a lot of capable specialists is even a national agenda. IISEC was established in 2004 as a graduate school specializing in information security. Since then, we have devoted ourselves to advanced education and research under the slogan, "systemizing a new study field and fostering specialists." Eventually, we have structured our curriculum consisting of cryptography, network system, system technology, operation, law, and ethics to be competitive in the world. Moreover, we never stop brushing up our curriculum to cultivate talents. Meanwhile, collaborating closely with several business corporations, we have started an information security specialist certification program for the "Integrated Special Scheme for Information Security Specialist cultivation" project sponsored by the Education Ministry. Also, we regularly host information security workshops open to the public to work together with society and develop these activities more. By the end of March 2012, 208 students have received a master's degree, and 20 have been granted a Ph.D. in informatics from IISEC. These graduates have begun functioning as strong networks of information security. We have a feature to have many corporate employees and self-employees among our students. We have recently seen a growing number of international students expected to increase more in the future. We look forward to cultivating many highly-motivated, diverse students so that IISEC could be Mt. Liang, the stronghold of eminent specialists in information security. IISEC has set up the advisory board comprising critical figures in public and private sectors to improve overall research activities and human resource development as an educational institute. We value outsiders' advice and guidance to review research and educational achievements by various external viewpoints for our endeavor to meet social needs and catch up with technological development. Our education is designed to provide a wide range of knowledge and skills in various fields related to information science, security technology, management and operation, the legal system, and information ethics, in addition to research guidance following the background of individuals to meet a large variety of social needs and situations. Information security technologies and knowledge are based on IT-related interdisciplinary science rather than an independent discipline. In other words, related fields widely range over subjects from fundamental science such as electromagnetism and mathematical logic, to applied science such as computing technologies, operating systems, software engineerings, network engineerings, communication protocols, access controls, operation techniques, management techniques, organizational theories, laws, and ethics. Therefore, the curriculum is structured by four perspectives: technologies, management and operations, legal systems, and information ethics. Additionally, highly detailed research guidance is provided to individuals depending on their background and career path. Furthermore, the master's program aims to enrich knowledge bases, require students to complete two compulsory subjects to learn a standard image, develop a broad vision about an overall picture of information security, and encourage them to take basic research writing classes and computer science. The doctoral program provides a flexible study framework to encourage the students to attend a part of the master's program to reinforce technical knowledge for their research interests.
