Global Strategies

 

The landscape of Iranian Universities is changing rapidly, and we at K. N. Toosi University of Technology are maneuvering to capture more international limelight. The aims for our global strategic movement is toward qualitative evolvement of the academic and research outcomes, and promoting more international contribution toward a more and peaceful world and a better place to live.

 

 

 

 

Prominent International Programs

 

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

 

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 the 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, and likewise many other Iranian students are among the top students studying in this field of studies. Furthermore, we have developed many ties to Iranian Institutes and cultural and visual content providers in the field of digital art, to promote joint teaching and research in this field based on long history of Iranian culture. Our essential aim to educate specialists in this field, and to finally inaugurate a CT faculty at K. N. Toosi University of Technology

ITC-Twente

 

The academic relation between KN Toosi University and ICT dates back to 2001 when a joint program named JKIP, and later JIK, had been organized for postgraduate students. From 2017, the cooperation continued in accordance with a new framework, offering 2 majors to the candidates of MSc degree: Remote Sensing (RS) and Geo-information Systems (GIS). According to the program schedule, the students commence the first year in Iran and go to Netherland to finish their final semesters. The program is conducted in English and the candidates must accomplish their knowledge of this modern Lingua Franca, especially before entering ITC.
