AccreditationIran operates a DUAL-MINISTRY higher education system, distinctive in the region. (1) MINISTRY OF SCIENCE, RESEARCH AND TECHNOLOGY (MSRT, Vezarat-e Olum) — regulates regular universities, technology universities, humanities and arts. (2) MINISTRY OF HEALTH AND MEDICAL EDUCATION (MoHME) — regulates ALL medical sciences universities (a separate parallel system since 1985 Iranian reform). Plus: Islamic Azad University (IAU) — massive semi-private network of ~400+ branches across Iran (and globally); Payame Noor University distance-learning system (~700+ branches); Applied Science University system for vocational; Farhangian University for teacher training; Al-Mustafa International University and other religious institutions under separate Howzeh seminary oversight. Iran has ~2,640 HEIs total. Quality assurance via MSRT's Iranian National Commission for UNESCO + university accreditation councils. Notable Iranian HE traditions include very high female enrollment (~50%+ at undergraduate level — often majority STEM), and strong emphasis on STEM/medical research despite international sanctions limiting collaboration.
Founded 1974 (Hamadan public flagship; named after Bu-Ali Sina / Avicenna — 10th-11th-c Persian physician-philosopher; Avicenna's tomb is in Hamadan). Major Western Iran public flagship in Hamadan. Founded 1974. Named after BU-ALI SINA (Latinised: AVICENNA, 980-1037 CE) — 10th-11th-century Persian polymath, considered FATHER OF EARLY MODERN MEDICINE; his 'Canon of Medicine' (Al-Qanun fi'l-Tibb) was standard European medical text through 17th century. AVICENNA'S TOMB IS IN HAMADAN — major pilgrimage for medical scholars. ~12,000+ students.
Always confirm a university's current accreditation with
the named national authority, and that the qualification is recognised in
the country where you intend to use it, before enrolling or paying any
fees. AlmiStudy records information to help you check — it is not an
endorsement.
Why this is free
AlmiStudy is part of AlmiWorld. It is free because its purpose is to
help people find their way to education — and the wider project
supports the Shamool Foundation, a free school for street children in
Lahore (60 students, lunch, books and uniforms provided).
