Partnership with Kingston University
Recently, Azad University signed a memorandum of understanding and established specific validation arrangements with Kingston University - a leading London university. Accordingly, Azad University will be running a Pre-University Foundation Programme (science pathway), and two undergraduate studies (Computer Sciences, and Architectural Studies) as well as a range of PhD programmes in the various fields of study. The International Foundation Programme would provide a progression route to Engineering and Computing as well as to some courses in Science and Art & Design. On completion, students will get a certificate from Kingston University that allows them to have access to the UK universities for their further undergraduate studies. Also the validation has entitled Azad University to run the first year of the BSc. in Computing and the Certificate in Architectural studies on their premises. Successful students will then proceed to Kingston University for the following two years of their study. The PhD. programme involves a research training set-up and a supervisory scheme from both universities that allows students to advance their original ideas into comprehensive research projects.
The collaboration with UK Partner universities has become a fact of our contemporary globalised world that cannot be avoided by any of the participants in the higher education. Azad University\'s infrastructure and its human and material resources are set in place to meet the core challenge of that new global reality. The whole set-up aims to achieve top quality results. AOU is fully equipped and is fully aware of the needs and aspirations of international students. Azad University is particularly sensitive to the hybrid culture that represents the great range of academic and cultural backgrounds that are characteristic of international education today.
