The University of Isfahan (UI) (Persian: دانشگاه اصفهان, romanizedDāneshgāh-e Esfahān) is a state-operated university located in Isfahan, Iran. It is ranked among the top 10 universities in Iran.[citation needed] The university is located on Azadi square of Isfahan. It has another campus in Khansar. University of Isfahan offers undergraduate degrees in 71 fields, graduate degrees in 185 fields and postgraduate in 119 fields.

History[edit]

The University of Isfahan was built in 1946. The decision to establish the university was an idea developed by a number of doctors at Amin Hospital in 1939. Eventually, the board of directors of the hospital approved a plan to establish Isfahan Higher Medical Institute in 1946. In September of the same year, an ad signed by lecturer Dr. Jelveh, then caretaker of Isfahan Province Health and Medical Treatment Department, was published in local newspapers calling on prospective students to enroll in the new institute. The first classes were held at Sadi High School (now Soureh Institute). Many more students enrolled in subsequent years; therefore, the institute had to find a larger campus to accommodate the growing number of new students. The first classes took place on October 29, 1950. Medical sciences were split off into a separate school, Isfahan University of Medical Sciences, in 1985.

Faculties[edit]

As of 2020, the university has fourteen faculties which are:[2]
