Iran University Science & Technology Iran

Iran University of Science and Technology was originally founded in 1929 as the first Iranian institution to train engineers. IUST was initially named the State Technical Institute. The institute continued to educate engineering students in different fields, who were well employed after graduation by industries and companies mostly involved in industrialization and development processes in the country. Due to its growth, the title of the institute was once again changed in 1972 to Iran Faculty of Science and Technology. With further development by its faculty, the institute expanded its programs by offering new fields in engineering. Eventually in 1978, the institution was promoted the status of a technical university, approved by the Ministry of Culture and Higher Education. Ever since, the institute earned its name ‘Iran University of Science and Technology’ (IUST). IUST has now granted degrees to over 32,000 students. The main branch as well as its branches in the cities of Noor and Behshahr benefit from more than 370 faculty members (56 professors, 113 student-professors, 171 assistant-professors), five vice-chancellors, fourteen schools and departments, fourteen research centers, and three research centers. IUST`s main campus located northeast of Tehran extends to 42 acres, and encompasses numerous degree programs, laboratories, a central library, residential hall.
