Geoglobal issues as an object of study in higher education in Bulgaria

The main objective is to study the presence of geo-global issues as a subject of study in the curricula of the higher education institutions in Bulgaria that have geography majors - University of Sofia, University of Veliko Tarnovo, Southwest University in Blagoevgrad and University of Shumen. In order to achieve the set goal, a comparative analysis of the curricula is being implemented as a basic part of the study documentation. The presence of compulsory, elective and optional courses, which are meaningfully related to the geo-global issues, is established.

On the basis of the content analysis, conclusions are drawn about the need to strengthen the presence of geo-global issues in the curricula and to seek opportunities for their expansion in the curricula of geography majors.
