Interview with Assoc. Dr. Teodor Lekov re Bulgarian Egyptology


Focus Information Agency

This looks as though it has been put through a translation engine without having been edited into submission before being put online. Some paragraphs are a real struggle. I've only posted it because it appears that there is only one university in the Balkans which offers Egyptology, and some of the information may be of some use to some visitors.

Head of Mediterranean and Eastern Studies department of the New Bulgarian University (NBU) Assoc. Dr. Teodor Lekov to answer FOCUS News Agency questions concerning to what extant the Egyptology has been developed in Bulgaria as a science and what is the realization of the people that have graduated that subject.

FOCUS: To what extant has been developed the Egyptology in Bulgaria and on the Balkans?
Teodor Lekov: There is no other university that to offer tuitions on Egyptology on the Balkans. The Bulgarian New University (BNU) is the only university that offers bachelor, master’s and doctoral programs on Egyptology. Bulgarian New University is the only institution of higher education on the Balkans where Egyptology could be studied at the each of the three academy levels.

FOCUS: And what is the interest of youth students to turn the Egyptology in their occupation?
Teodor Lekov: There is a keen interest in the recent years, because there are more and more people opened to the world. This is a nationwide subject. It is not engaged only with Bulgarian issues and the Bulgarian being. Many young people could afford to study such subject because due to the fact that they started traveling, having different incomes and other sources.
