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.

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).
