Prominent International Programs

K. N. Toosi University of Technology as one of the top technical universities in Iran, has been enjoyed and is experiencing a variety of joint international academic programs.

KAIST
KAIST

The aim of the joint program of K.N. Toosi University of Technology and KAIST on Culture Technology (CT) is to promote research and to educate specialists in crossroad fields joining the technology to the culture. This program is designed to promote national cultural content providers as the future of nation-wise core key industries through education of interdisciplinary top-level specialists on cutting-edge technology. Currently our students are pursuing their research on Ph.D. or Masters level at KAIST. Our essential aim is to educate specialists in this field, and to finally inaugurate a CT faculty at K. N. Toosi University of Technology.

ITC-Twente
