Sarafov”, the National Music Academy “Prof. Pancho Vladigerov”, and the National Sports Academy “Vasil Levski”.

The history that BNT has and the experience accumulated over more than 65 years are a guarantee that the students in “TV Academy” can receive the best possible start to their careers in our field”, said Anton Andonov, member of the BNT Management Board.

They join different teams, learn from the best in the profession, and gain valuable practical experience”, said Antoniya Nikolova, head of “TV Academy”.
In the coming months, the students will acquire knowledge, skills, and their first practical experience in eight structural units of the Bulgarian National Television: “News and Current Affairs”, “Programme Content”, “Sports”, “TV Production”, “Film and Foreign Programmes”, “Marketing and Strategic Development”, “Engineering and Technologies”.
