The engineer specializing in "MIT" with an educational-qualificational degree of "master" has:

a high level of complex fundamental training acquired in accordance with the requirements for the training of a master's degree engineer;
a level of general culture corresponding to the requirements for higher education;
knowledge of the theoretical foundations of the respective field, as well as knowledge of a wide range of mathematical and engineering methods for the research and analysis of products, processes, and systems using modern technical tools and software;
broad knowledge in the field of management activities.

The engineer specializing in "MIT" with an educational-qualificational degree of "master" solves complex managerial and operational tasks. For this highly qualified activity, interdisciplinary academic education is required, which covers knowledge in the following areas:

engineering sciences - design, research, implementation, and maintenance of measuring instruments, metrological assurance, and quality control;
economic sciences - economics, marketing, project management, human resources, business communications, etc.;
information sciences – information provision, automation and computer control;
social and legal sciences – technical legislation of the EU and the Republic of Bulgaria, standardization, legal metrology.

Graduated with an educational and qualification degree of "Bachelor" or "Master"

in the specialties of all professional directions of field 5. Technical Sciences.

The preparation of the master's program in the specialty "Metrology and Measuring Technology" is built on the knowledge and skills acquired during the bachelor's studies in the following groups of disciplines: fundamental; general engineering; specialized engineering; and humanities.

During the studies, the following specialized engineering disciplines are covered:

Theoretical foundations of metrology;
Fundamentals of measuring technology;
Engineering research;
Design of measuring instruments and systems;
Processing and analysis of measurement data;
Metrological assurance and metrological infrastructure;
Reliability and diagnostics of measuring equipment;
Intelligent measuring systems;
Measurement of physical and mechanical quantities in industry;
Measurement of geometric quantities;
Distributed measuring systems and virtual instruments;
Measurement and control of environmental and working environment parameters;
Electromagnetic compatibility of measuring instruments;
Automation of control in industry;
Computer technologies in measurements and quality control.

Professional implementation can be achieved in all sectors of the national economy, science, social spheres, state and European administration, requiring higher education in the specialty.

The engineer in the specialty can be implemented by occupying various middle management and executive positions requiring an educational and qualification degree of 'master' in the specialty 'Metrology and Measuring Technology' both in the production sphere and in science, education, and state administration. Professionally, they can also be implemented by continuing their education at the scientific and educational level of 'doctor'.

According to the current Law on Measurements in the Republic of Bulgaria, there are two state management bodies in the field of measurements - BIM and DAMTN, which are potential employers of future metrology engineers. The IA BSA under the Ministry of Economy and Energy is also a potential employer for personnel with competencies in calibration, testing, control, and certification.

There is a huge number of institutes, as well as private and state laboratories, commercial and production companies, state organizations, agencies, and institutions, which are also future potential employers for personnel with engineering-metrological training and competencies in the field of measuring technology.
