Summary/Abstract: The spatial development and the territorial disparities that have emerged set the need to recruit staff and professionals to receive their training in regional development for positive change in the different territorial communities. The focus is on the training of specialists in the professional field of administration and management, where training in regional development can be most effectively delivered. This approach requires the foregrounding of the functional philosophy of regional development and the conscious model of preparation that is the contribution of the University of National and World Economy (UNWE) in terms of the preparation of specialists in higher education. In this direction, the regional being has its scope and purpose, because it combines the public and private sectors in organizational and managerial terms and directly corresponds to the processes taking place in our surroundings. In practical terms, we live in a world dominated by a spatially localized economy. A snapshot of our daily lives shows that all economic life has a territorial dimension, despite a globalizing economy. This makes it necessary, through the specialized knowledge and skills of the regional development curriculum, to prepare professionals who can make adequate and creative managerial, organizational, and technical decisions for socio-economic development and, above all, for the imposition of new products and spatial solutions for the geo-economic development of individual territorial communities. The regional and local profile of the economy is particularly necessary for the positioning of products, trademarks, and names that are in tune with the change in the surrounding environment and bear the specificity of the region. However, for this process to have a sustainable framework, the organization and management must be at the right high level. It is through the knowledge and skills of scientific thought that action can be taken and solutions imposed to improve administrative capacity and develop institutional completeness. The main objective of the training in the specialty "Regional Development" is to prepare competent and motivated experts, researchers, and scientific staff in the field of regional economy and administration, with a high level of mastery of theoretical and practical knowledge, which will allow them to be properly integrated into the socio-economic life of the country. The main idea of the study is to analyze the curricula and the possibilities for improving the education and training of specialists in the field of regional development. The book is divided into two parts. The first part deals with the basic concepts and the second part is practically oriented towards the study of students' attitudes and attitudes towards their studies in the field of Regional Development. Part of the research tracks the qualitative change of students in terms of the knowledge and skills acquired.
