Summary/Abstract: Many educational programs faced with a challenge to ensure practical skills in student education in addition to the theoretical knowledge. Working in projects is an extensively used concept. But in the most universities these projects are entirely academic and lack real world elements. As a result students are not quite motivated and often give standard decisions to the problems that project have to resolve. In this paper we present our approach for working on industrial projects in Master Program IT Services and Projects at Faculty of Mathematics and Informatics – University of Sofia. The approach includes work on projects as an integral part of education and in more than one course. The paper discussed specific issues concerning educational and practical side of the projects work.
