Attitudes towards Bulgarian studies abroad

Summary/Abstract: The article examines the attitude of philology students towards Bulgarian studies in foreign universities. Based on a survey conducted in June 2023, it summarizes students' expectations regarding the subjects studied and ideas for future professional realization. The text presents statistics of the answers to several questions - which subjects should be compulsory for people studying Bulgarian studies abroad, what skills should be acquired by foreign Bulgarian studies students, what practices and internships should be included in the study of Bulgarian studies abroad and what professions could be pursued by people graduated in Bulgarian studies abroad. The processed results strongly indicate that the professional realization of foreign Bulgarian students is expected to be mainly in the field of education as teachers of Bulgarian language in school or university, as well as translators. Students consider academic exchanges and work placements in Bulgaria in institutions and companies to be particularly suitable. Expected skills of Bulgarian graduates are related to mastering both the practical Bulgarian language and its grammatical structure. Knowledge of cultural heritage and national psychology is also perceived to be key to the future professional development of Bulgarian studies students.
