The University of Science and Technology of Iran, established in 1308 as the Higher Institute during the Qajar era in Tehran, is considered one of the top universities in Iran. The main campus is located in Tehran, with additional branches in Bushehr, Damavand, and Noor.
The university has undergone several upgrades and expansions since its inception. The Damavand unit, launched in 1384, offers a bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering and is currently under development. The Noor branch, established in 1983, has an active student population of 200 and offers master's degree programs in 13 fields.
The Behshahr branch was founded in 1373 and initially admitted students to three programs: computer science, industrial engineering, and applied mathematics. In 2009, electrical engineering was added to the list of programs. It's worth noting that this branch only offered night classes until Shahrivar 1388. After this period, the university began admitting students to electrical and applied mathematics engineering. In 91, the Behshahr branch was renamed the Mazandaran University of Science and Technology.
Over the years, the institution has been renamed several times and relocated:
- At its establishment in 1308, it was known as Art Saray Ali and was located on St. Tir.
- In 1336, it was renamed the Tehran Institute of Technology.
- In 1342, it moved to Art Sarai in Narmak, its current location.
- In 1351, it became the Faculty of Science and Technology of Iran.
- In 1357, it was promoted to the University of Science and Technology of Iran.
Currently, the university has 10,837 students and 608 lecturers. It has published 23,244 scientific articles in domestic journals and conferences, 13 of which are specialized journals. The university has organized 78 conferences and has a student body of 32,000 undergraduates and postgraduates.
