Khaje Nasir Toosi (K. N. Toosi) University of Technology

K.N.Toosi University of Technology (K.N.Toosi) is a public, coeducational institution under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Science, Research, and Technology. With more than 300 full-time faculty members and 8000 students, K.N.Toosi boasts one of the highest instructor to student ratios in Iran. This individual attention from expert instructors, most of whom are as experienced in the industry as they are academically, has attracted some of the country’s most talented students to K.N.Toosi. Consequently, the university is known for its excellent track record of research output and industrial connections. There are currently seven faculties within the University which are located in five different campuses spread across the vast downtown of Tehran. Due to the varied origins of K.N.Toosi, the faculties are not concentrated in one campus. However, the plan for centralizing the University is currently underway. This plan is intended to accommodate the ambitions of this ever-growing University in the near future. During the past few years, a number of international joint programs have been established with universities from UK, The Netherlands, and Russia. The virtual programs of the University have also recently started in the fields of industrial engineering and computer science. These programs are expanding very quickly and the number of students has grown significantly with the commencement of these new programs.
