For many centuries, history books which marvel at the life and times of the oldest civiliza-tions of the world have referred to the ancient wonders of Iran/ Persia. They have focused on a land where talented and deeply spiritual people have built a rich culture, a cradle of innovation and creative thinking in a natural paradise of extraordinary beauty. In fact, the geography is so diverse that one can find, in its different climates, the four

IranIran is not just a name attributed to specific geographic borders, no matter its geopolitical importance, rather, Iran is and has always been a home to fertile beliefs, dynamic astronomers, mathematicians, scholars and poets whose vigorous, inspirational cadences have, as Rene Grousset, the renowned orientologist once said ‘split over its borders and extended beyond its political and historical boundaries.’

seasons displaying their scenic grandeur at the same time.Iran is therefore not just a name attributed to specific geographic borders, no matter what the criti-cal importance, of its geopoliti-cal importance. Rather, Iran is, and has always been a home to fertile beliefs, dynamic astrono-mers, mathematicians, scholars and poets whose vigorous, inspirational cadences have, as Rene Grousset, the renowned orientologist once said ‘split over its borders and extended beyond its political and historical boundaries.’The search for truth, unity, morality, and human dignity is a pillar of Iranian life and society. The works of Iranian artists from ancient times to the present show the modulations of this journey and the devotion to the search. No matter where the visitor casts his gaze upon ancient monuments and the prayer niches of mosques, upon popular handicrafts and beauti-ful inlaid mosaics – we see that the civilization of Iran- with all its dynamism and vigor has, simultaneously, always been part of an eternal devotion to monotheistic Godliness, stability, and permanence. Again, the history books tell us that Iran was the centre of the main routes of the old world, which connected the east to the west. The oldest trade route known as the ‘Silk Road’ and which was used by travelers,

merchants, artists and warriors, crossed through this land. Iran, therefore, has been distin-guished as a land of dialogue and interaction between civiliza-tions since ancient times.Like all ancient civilizations, culture constitutes the focal point and heart of the Iranian civiliza-tion with historical and urban settlements dating back to 7000 BC. Iran’s art, music, architec-ture, poetry, philosophy, tradi-tions, and ideology have made it an important nation in the global community throughout history. In fact, many Iranians believe their culture to be the one and only reason why their civilization has continuously survived thousands of years of plethoric calamities.

Geography

Iran is a southwest Asian country of mountains and deserts. East-ern Iran is dominated by a high plateau, with large salt flats and vast sand deserts. The plateau is surrounded by even higher mountains, including the Zagros to the west and the Alborz to the north. Farming and settle-ment are largely concentrated in the narrow plains or valleys in the west or north, where there is more rainfall. Iran’s huge oil reserves lie in the southwest, along the Persian Gulf.From 600 BC until 1935, the country was referred to in the West as Persia. It is situated in

south-western Asia and borders the three CIS states, the Re-public of Armenia, the Republic of Azerbaijan, and the Republic of Turkmenistan, as well as the Caspian Sea to the north, Turkey and Iraq to the west, the Persian Gulf and the Oman Sea to the south and Pakistan and Afghanistan to the east.

Landscape

A series of massive, heavily eroded mountain ranges sur-round Iran’s high interior basin. Most of the country is above 1,500 feet, one-sixth of it over 6,500 feet high. In sharp contrast are the coastal regions outside the mountain ring. In the north, the 400-mile strip along the Cas-pian Sea, never more than 70 miles wide and frequently nar-rowing to 10, falls sharply from the 10,000 feet summit to 90 feet below sea level. In the south, the land drops away from a 2,000 feet plateau, backed by a rugged escarpment three times as high, to meet the Persian Gulf and the Oman Sea.

Mountains

The Zagros mountain range stretches from the border with the Republic of Armenia in the north-west to the Persian Gulf, and then eastward into hard, difficult to access, and populated largely by pastoral nomads.


The Alborz Mountain range, narrower than the Zagros but equally forbidding, runs along the southern shore of the Caspian Sea to meet the border ranges of Khorassan to the east. The highest of its volcanic peaks is the 18,600-foot, snow-covered Mt. Damavand. On the border of Afghanistan, the mountains fall away, to be replaced by barren sand dunes. The arid interior plateau, which extends into Central Asia, is cut by two smaller mountain ranges. Parts of this desert region, known as dasht, are covered by loose stones and sand, gradu-ally merging into fertile soil on the hillsides. Where fresh water can be held, oases have existed from immemorial time, marking the ancient caravan routes. The most remarkable feature of the plateau is a salt waste 200 miles long and half as wide, known as Kavir (deserts). It remains unexplored, since its treacherous crust has been formed by large, sharp-edged salt mass, which cover mud. Cut by deep ravines, it is virtually impenetrable.

Deserts

The vast deserts of Iran stretch across the plateau from the north-west, close to Tehran and Qom, for a distance of about 400 miles to the south-east and be-yond the frontier. Approximately one-sixth of the total area of Iran

is barren desert. The two largest desert areas are known as the Kavir-e-Lut and the Dasht-e-Ka-vir. Third in size of these deserts is the Jazmurian. It is often said that the Kavir-e-Lut and Dasht-e-Kavir are impossible to cross except by the single road which runs from Yazd to Ferdows, but in recent years, heavy trucks and other vehicles have trav-eled over long stretches of these deserts which contain extensive mineral deposits -chlorides, sulphates and carbonates - and it is only a matter of time before they are exploited.

Lakes & SeasThe three major seas surround-ing Iran are the Persian Gulf, Oman Sea and the Caspian Sea. The Caspian Sea, located in the northern part of the country, is the largest landlocked body of water in the world (424,240 sq. km.) and lies some 85 feet below the sea level. It is comparatively shallow, and for some centuries has been slowly shrinking in size. It abounds with fish, Caviar in particular. Its coasts do not offer any good natural harbors, and sudden and violent storms make it danger-ous for small boats. The Persian Gulf is the shal-low marginal part of the Indian Ocean that lies between the Ara-bian Peninsula and south-east Iran. Its length is 990 kilome-ters, and its width varies from a

maximum of 338 kilometers to a minimum of 55 kilometers in the Strait of Hormuz. More than 60% of the world’s imported energy passes this strategic Strait.The Persian Gulf and the sur-rounding countries produce approximately 31 percent of the world’s total oil production and have 63 percent of the world’s proven reserves. The Persian Gulf area will remain an impor-tant source of world oil for a long period of time. The term Persian Gulf is often used to refer not only to the Persian Gulf but also to its outlets, the Strait of Hor-muz and the Oman Sea, which open into the Arabian Sea. The Iranian southern shore is mountainous, and there are of-ten cliffs, a narrow coastal plain with beaches, intertidal flats, and small estuaries border the Persian Gulf. The coastal plain widens north of the city of Bushehr on the eastern shore of the gulf and passes into the broad deltaic plain of the Tigris, Euphrates and Karun rivers.

Drainage & Soil

The few streams that empty into the desiccated central plateau dissipate themselves in saline marshes. There are several large rivers ranging around 500 to 900 kilometers, the only navi-gable one is Karun in the south western part of the country. All


streams are seasonal and vari-able, and there is little water flow in the summer when many streams disappear. Water is however stored naturally under-ground, finding its outlet in sub-terranean water canals (Qanat), springs and being tapped by wells.Soil patterns are varied. The abundant subtropical vegetation of the Caspian’s coastal region is supported by rich brown forest soils. Mountain soils are shallow layers over bedrock, with a high proportion of unweathered frag-ments. Natural erosion moves the finer textured soils into the valleys. These alluvial deposits are mostly chalky, and many are used for pottery. The semi-aired plateaus lying above 3,000 feet are covered by brown or chestnut-colored soil that sup-ports grassy vegetation. Urban and Rural Archi-tecture

Urban settlement has a long precedent in Iran. At present, over 70 percent of Iranians are urban settlers of which around 50 percent of the population live in large and medium-size cities. The largest city of all is the capi-tal, Tehran. Other large cities are Mashhad, Shiraz, Rasht, Isfa-han, Tabriz, followed by medium-size cities like Ahvaz, Saari, Ker-manshah, Hamedan, Kerman, Yazd and others. Traditional

architecture and town plan-ning have undergone notable changes in the last few decades. Iran is famous for its vibrant and wide range of architecture designs. Ancient and traditional buildings are spread around the country, influenced by the depth of the Persian culture and civilization, giving a magnificent look to various cities. However, modern architecture, influenced by European designs has largely replaced local architecture in the capital, Tehran. Ancient build-ings and traditional architecture can still be found in many small and medium-size cities, as well as several large cities including Isfahan, Shiraz, Kashan and Yazd.The rural architecture has fol-lowed the geographical and cli-mate patterns of the country. Vil-lages in plain plateaus follow an ancient rectangular pattern. High mud walls with towers from the outer face of the houses, which have flat roofs of mud and straw supported by wooden rafters. In the open centre of the village is a mosque, sometimes serving as a school, too. Mountain villages are situated on rocky slopes above the valley floor. They are surrounded by terraced fields, usually irrigated of grain and Lu-cerne. The houses are square, mud-brick, windowless buildings with flat or domed roofs. The sta-ble is usually under the house. Caspian villages are completely different. Here, where there is

an abundance of water, the scat-tered hamlets have two-story wooden houses, frequently built on pilings, with a gallery around the upper floor. Separate build-ings (barns, hen-houses, silk worm houses) surround an open courtyard.

Four Season ClimateIran has a diverse four season climate. The temperature dif-ference of two locations in Iran at one point in time reaches to 50°C. In winter, one may swim in an outdoor pool or in the southern shore of the Persian Gulf, while the other is skiing in Tehran or in the western moun-tains. In general, Iran has an arid climate in which most of the relatively scant annual precipita-tion falls from October through April. In most of the country, yearly precipitation averages 25 centimeters or less. The major exceptions are the higher mountain valleys of the Zagros and the Caspian coastal plain, where precipitation averages at least 50 centimeters annually. In the western part of the Caspian, rainfall exceeds 100 centime-ters annually and is distributed relatively evenly throughout the year. In the northwest, winters are cold with heavy snowfall and subfreezing temperatures during December and January. Spring and fall are relatively mild, while summers are dry and hot. In thesouth, winters are mild and


the summers are very hot, hav-ing average daily temperatures in July exceeding 38°C (100°F). The Persian Gulf (south) has a hot climate. Temperatures are high, though winters may be quite cool at the north-western extremities. Humidity is high and dust storms and haze occur frequently in summer.

Dishes and FoodIran is a country of a variety of dishes. All provinces of Iran have their own dishes and spe-cialties. Northern dishes differ from the southern, not only in commonly used ingredients but also differences due to distinct climates and cultures. However, the national dish is rice prepared in several special ways with Kebab (lamb meat or chicken). Iranian rice from the rainy plains of Mazandaran and Gilan is considered by many -not only Iranians- to be one of the world’s best. Dishes in Iran are cultural means to understand particularities of a location. Due to the climate, a variety of fruits are produced in different provinces and second to tea, seasonal fruits are an-other integral part of hospitality. Every province has its own spe-cialty for making sweets, biscuits and candies.

Iranian New YearIran’s calendar is based on

the solar calendar. Norouz, (new day) which is the 20th of March, is the beginning of the Iranian year. It is a celebration of spring Equinox. It has been celebrated by all the major cul-tures of ancient Mesopotamia, Sumerians (3000BC), Babylo-nians (2000 BC), the ancient kingdom of Elam in Southern Persia (2000BC) as well as the Acadians.It is a uniquely Iranian tradition and is deeply rooted in the tradi-

tions of the Zoroastrian belief system.

Language

Persian (or Farsi), an Indo-Euro-pean language, is Iran’s national and official language. Although written with a modified Arabic alphabet, the two languages are not related. There are many local languages and accents in Iran such as Azeri, Gilaki, Kurd-ish, Arabic, Baluchi, Lori, etc.


Tehran is the capital and the most important political and economic center of the country. Tehran is situated central north of the country, on the southern slopes of Alborz Mountains. It lies at an elevation of 1,100 meters above the Caspian Sea level and it is the vastest and most populous city of Iran, rank-ing among the most prominent cities of the world.Tehran which means “warm slope”, was a village in the sub-urb of the ancient Iranian capital of Rey, and after the fall of Rey by the Mongols in 1220 A.D., its residents moved to Tehran and the foundation for it to become a city was thus laid.After the establishment of a con-

stitutional government in the ear-ly 20th century, Tehran has been declared, in the Constitution, as the capital and the seat of the Majlis (Parliament). Tehran’s population has been steadily rising. In 1923, the population of Tehran amounted to 210,000, in 1966 it reached 2.7 million, in 1988 it went over 6 million, and now it stands at above 12 million. The population of the capital is further increased by another 3 million who commute to Tehran during work hours. From the 1940s and over the course of the subsequent six decades, the shape of the city has been heavily altered, with the city witnessing the erection of large modern public and

The University is located in the central part of Tehran with other campuses spread across the city: Baghe Negarestan Campus at the central eastern part of the city, the Northern Amirabad Campus at the central western part of the city and Abureyhan Campus in the suburb of the capital.

governmental buildings, new parks, sports arenas, well equipped modern hospitals, universities and educational cen-ters, theatres, museums, luxuri-ous hotels and restaurants as well many other structures. The development of urban facilities in Tehran however has caused an influx of immigration into the city. Major Attractions in Tehran and its Suburbs

Dar-Al Fonoun and Shahid Mot-ahari schools, Azadi tower, Imam Khomeini mosque, palaces of Golestan , Saheb Qaranieh and Niavaran, Ab-Ali & Dizin ski resorts, Tochal cable car, Par-disan and Eram parks, Tehran bazaar, the zoo and Lar dam are some of the attractions and the natural and cultural icons of the city.

The city of Karaj also hosts Takht-e Rostam and Shah Abbasi.

The University of Teh-ran and the Capital

The University of Tehran is known as the symbol of higher education in Iran. The main cam-pus of the University is located in

the central part of the city. How-ever, other campuses are spread across the city as well as in the suburbs such as the Baghe Negarestan Campus at the central eastern part of the city, the Northern Kargar Campuses at the central western part of the city and the Abureyhan Campus in the suburb of the capital. The main gate of the University with its specific design and modern architecture (at Enghelab Street at the main campus) is the logo of the University and in a more general sense, a logo of educa-tion in Iran. The University is one of the city’s attractions, hosting many international and cultural events attracting academia, foreign tourists as well as local residents. The Major festive of Friday Prayers of the capital is held at the University’s main campus every Friday.


History

Rooted in Jondi Shapur Uni-versity which goes back over 2,000 years, the University of Tehran in its traditional form was established seven centuries ago. It was founded firstly in religious seminaries (“Houza” or tradition-al religious schools). Other than religious studies, the education then covered mathematics, astronomy, medicine, literature, biology, physics and chemistry. During the modern era, the Uni-versity of Tehran evolved from a religious structure to a more modern and academic structure of higher education. Dar-ol-Fonoon College was the first engineering school in its modern form which was established almost a century ago. This was 20 years before the

establishment of similar colleges in Tokyo (Japan). Amir Kabir, the Prime Minster of Iran during the Qajar dynasty (1848-1851), having witnessed the modern sciences during his journey to Russia and the Ottoman Empire, established Dar-ol-Fonoon Col-lege. Engineering, medical and industrial sciences were among the programs taught at the Col-lege. The first instructors of the College were seven professors from Austria. Dar-ol-Fonoon was turned into an official state-run university, the first dean of which was the foreign minister of the time, Mirza Mohammad Ali Khan. The initial plan of turning the College into a national university was ordered by Abdol-Hossein Teimoortash, Minister of the Court of the time to Doctor Isa

Sedigh. The plan was ratified by the king, Reza shah. The plan would establish facul-ties of Theology (Ma’ghool-o-Manghool), Natural, Economics and Engineering Sciences. The Minister of Science at the time, also in charge of implementation of the plan was Ali Asghar Hek-mat, whose collections of books are kept at the University’s main library. Other teacher training colleges and Industrial schools became subdivisions of the Uni-versity to which ad hoc schools and institutions would be added. It was not until 1933 that the plan was passed by the National Parliament. Due to the absence of large buildings, the mansion of the Teachers Training College for example was adopted for the Faculty of Humanities and Literature.

As the University of Tehran is the symbol of higher education of Iran, the main gate of the University in central Tehran, with its specific design and architecture is in a more general sense, a logo of education in Iran.

Colleges & Faculties

History

The foundation of the University of Tehran, College of Agriculture & Natural Resources (UTCAN) goes back to year 1900 when it was first established under the title of “School of Agriculture” in the village of Chardange in Tehran. After six years, the school was developed to the “School of Higher education”. In 1917, the school was moved to the Palace of Soleimanieh in the city of Karaj. In 1921, the school was further expanded and the “School of Higher Agricultural Studies, Rural Handicrafts & Industries” with three depart-ments was established. After two decades of activities in the field of agriculture (in 1940), it was

reshaped as the “Faculty of Ag-riculture (FA)”. In 1949, the FA was finally proclaimed as one of the faculties of the University of Tehran. The ten departments of the FA provided opportunities to admit students in 54 majors and 66 specializations in undergrad-uate and graduate programs in Agricultural Science & Engineer-ing disciplines. In 1963, a new institute named “Institute of Forests & Range-lands” was established with due consideration of conservation, renovation, and development of natural resources. Then the “Faculty of Forestry” was approved by the University of Tehran Council in 1966 and student admissions took place in the same year. In 1972, the

faculty was further expanded to the “Faculty of Natural Resourc-es (FNR)” with four departments in 23 majors and 5 specializa-tions in both undergraduate and graduate programs. In 2004, the two faculties (FA and FNR) were merged and re-structured as “University of Tehran, College of Agriculture & Natural Resources (UTCAN)”. Currently, UTCAN is composed of four faculties and one interna-tional research center as follows, among other institutes affiliated with the state’s higher education. • Faculty of Economics and Ag-ricultural Development (FEAD)• Faculty of Agricultural Science and Engineering (FASE)• Faculty of Natural Resources (FNR)• Faculty of Agricultural Engi-neering and Technology (FAET)• International Desert Research Center (IDRC)Presently, UTCAN stands high both inside the country and abroad due to its scope; precedence and benefiting from eminent well experienced faculty members and staff as well as a selection of top students from candidates throughout the country and abroad. Mutual cooperation and collaboration with executive organizations, research and development corporations and institutes along with well equipped laboratories, and diversity of fields of study have added to the credibility of this institute of higher education.

UTCAN, with more than 210 out-standing faculty members (Table 1), accomplishes B.Sc., M.Sc. and Ph.D. programs. Students are admitted to 148 majors and specializations of study through the general entrance exam to pursue their studies in the above four faculties (with 14 departments) and two research institutes (IDRC, and Research Department of Agricultural Bio-technology) as detailed in Tables 2 to 5. More than 4000 students are currently enrolled in UTCAN from whom about 50% are in their graduate studies.UTCAN publishes 11 scientific Journals covering all aspects of Agricultural and Natural Re-sources studies.

HistoryThe Center for Coordination of Environmental Studies of the University of Tehran was found-ed in 1973, following the United Nation’s Conference on Human and Environment which was held in Stockholm in 1972. Later in 1994, the Center was expanded to the “Faculty of Environment”. At present, the Faculty only offers graduate programs. The Faculty hosts 33 full-time and

12 part-time faculty members all with the highest qualifications from highly recognized interna-tional and national universities. The Faculty has managed to initiate and rapidly expand its research cooperation with a number of major players in the field of environment protection in Iran such as National Organiza-tion of Environment, Ministry of Interior, Ministry of Industries, Ministry of Oil, and Municipali-ties. Lack of adequate attention

Faculty of Environment


to environmental issues, non-essential consumption of natural resources such as drinkable water and energy resources, irregular growth and immigra-tion of populations, the advent of assembling industries without paying attention to the country’s industrialization trends and in sum the destruction and pollu-tion of natural and human envi-ronments, have made the need for establishing such a Faculty all the more necessary. The underground water sup-ply, air and noise as well as solid-waste disposal manage-ment and industrial sewage, the mal-effects of urbaniza-tion, building agricultural and industrial complexes, natural and semi-natural ecological problems, national parks and forests, and the misuse of soil and water, are all issues leading the environmentalists towards playing crucial roles in different fields of management, planning and environmental engineering. Although the Faculty of Environ-ment is currently the only such faculty among state owned uni-versities in Iran, over the past 15 years, more than 200 graduates of the Faculty have taken such positions in industries and local and central governments.

Objectives and Pres-ent Status

The major goals and objectives

of the Graduate Faculty of Envi-ronment are as follows:

1. Protection and restoration of man-made and natural environ-ments, as well as cultural and ecological heritages.2. Enhancement of public awareness and general knowl-edge on the environment in society.3. Promotion of research on environmental issues and its coordination among various institutions at UT.

Departments

The Graduate Faculty of Envi-ronment has 4 different depart-ments:• Environmental Engineering • Environmental Design Engi-neering• Environmental Education, Management & Planning• Natural Disaster Engineering Management

The most recent department is the ‘Natural Disaster Engi-neering Management’ which focuses on management at times of disasters and natural calamities. Currently, it offers a MSc program and will soon offer programs at the PhD level, approved by the Ministry of Sci-ence, Research & Technology. Furthermore, a new program in Environmental Sciences is under verification for approval.


Research Orientation and the Projects

The research activities in the Faculty of Environmental Engineering encompass a wide

spectrum of issues such as optimization of water quality, engineering and distribution, wastewater collection, water and wastewater treatment, air and noise pollution engineering and their quality managements, reuse and recycling of solid waste,

History

Foreign languages Depart-ment was established within the Faculty of Literature in 1969. In 1988, it became an independent faculty with BA programs in English, French, Russian, Italian, German, Urdu, and Japanese languages and literatures. The Faculty of Foreign Languages and Literatures is not merely a language center. It is a fully fledged faculty with eight depart-ments, which not only offers basic undergraduate courses,

but also courses in literature, linguistics and translation studies for freshman, sophomore and senior students. Second languages taught at the Faculty include, Korean, Chinese, Catalan, and Istanbul Turkish.


“The significance of language for the evolution of culture lies in this, that mankind set up

Faculty of Foreign Languagesand Literatures


in language a separate world beside the other world, a place it took to be so firmly set that, standing upon it, it could lift the rest of the world off its hinges and make itself master of it. To the extent that man has for long ages believed in the concepts and names of things as in anten-nae verities’ he has proportioned to himself that pride by which he raised himself above the animal: he really thought that in lan-guage he possessed knowledge of the world.” Fredric Nietzche, Human All Too Human.

The study of languages is very important in today’s world, since language is a bridge to other cultures and societies.

Departments

The Faculty has 8 departments: • English Language & Literature • French Language & Literature • German Language and Lit-erature• Russian Language and Lit-erature • Japanese Language & Litera-ture• Urdu Language & Literature • Italian Language & Literature • Spanish Language and Lit-erature

Besides the departments men-tioned above, the Faculty has established a Research Center for Comparative Literature,

which conducts annual interna-tional seminars and is now work-ing towards publishing these articles in its exclusive research journal. In addition, the Faculty hosts English language exams for applicants to PhD programs at various Universities. It is worth noting that in Iran, this exam is a prerequisite for admission to the PhD programs in all universities. There is also a department for general language courses.

The 10-year development plan of the Faculty includes the es-tablishment of departments and programs in Turkish, Greek, and Portuguese languages as well as introducing Master’s and PhD level programs in departments which lack graduate programs. The Faculty holds numerous Memorandums of Understanding (MOU), with several renowned foreign universities, mainly con-centrating on student and faculty exchange.Presently, there are approxi-mately 850 under-graduate students, over 300 MA students, and over 50 PhD students study-ing at the Faculty. The Faculty has 65 faculty mem-bers as well as several visiting professors from other institu-tions, including foreign universi-ties. Additionally, the Faculty provides non-degree courses in different foreign languages to University students as well as non university students.

Faculty of Literature and Human Sciences

In 1934, when the ‘Act of the Establishment of University of Tehran’ was ratified by the then National Consultative Parlia-ment, six faculties were envis-aged for the formation of the University and this idea was reit-erated in the Law. One of those six faculties was the Faculty of Literature. Additionally, when the Teacher Training College was established in 1928, its literary part included two fields of “Philosophy and Literature” and “History and Geography”. Therefore, teaching Persian Literature in formal form dates back to about 80 years ago. On October 1937, a PhD pro-gram in Persian Literature was offered in the Faculty. In 1953, the journal of the Faculty was published and on November of the same year, a course titled Persian Language and Culture was offered to foreign students for the first time. On November

1956, the responsibility of print-ing the Dehkhoda Encyclopedia (the most known and prestigious Persian encyclopedia first written by Dehkgoda, the writer, poet of 20th century) was shifted from the Parliament to Tehran University (Faculty of Literature and Human Sciences) and the Institute of Dehkhoda Encyclo-pedia was founded. It is worth mentioning that since establishment, many changes and improvements have taken place in the Faculty, such as the detachment of Social Sciences, Foreign Languages, Psychology and Geography from the body of the Faculty of Literature, and formation of independent facul-ties. It was such that in 1971, the Faculty of Foreign Languages; in 1988, the Faculty of Psychology and Educational Sciences; and in 2001, the Faculty of Geogra-phy was changed into indepen-dent faculties.

History

The Faculty of Veterinary Medi-cine, previously known as the Higher School of Stockbreed-ing, was established in 1932. During the past 8 decades, the Faculty has gone through numerous reforms and improve-ments. One milestone was the move towards a more education oriented approach which allowed students to gain DVM and PhD degrees. The courses offered in the Faculty are aimed at training future veterinarians based on the current needs of the Country, similar in structure and training to institutions in the developed world.

Objectives and Pres-ent StatusThe Faculty has 89 full-time fac-ulty members including 18 pro-fessors, 38 associate professors and 32 assistant professors. The Faculty has two animal clinics and 3 research centers. Every year, the Faculty admits around 130 students to the different fields of study. Around 40% of the Faculty’s undergraduate students continue their studies on to the graduate level. All departments play a crucial role in educating DVM, MSc, PhD and DVSc students. Students enrolled in the DVM program acquire the necessary

Faculty of VeterinaryMedicine


skills and abilities in various fields including preventing, eradi-cating and curing animal dis-eases, providing general health through controlling livestock-origin food hygiene and control-ling common diseases between humans and animals. The rising importance of veterin-ary medicine and the need for veterinarians to be able to func-tion in any setting has resulted in the launch of many research projects in this field. This has led to a joint effort between several departments of the Faculty in-cluding diverse activities through which veterinary knowledge and skills can be directed to the well being and health of animals. Some of these research projects have dealt with the biochem-ical and pathological issues of livestock, poultry and aquatic animals in order to assure maximum quality and reliability. All the research activities of the Faculty are recorded in the annual university report. In addi-tion, all publications, their impact factors, and H-indexes have been evaluated since 2001.The Faculty receives funding from the government, however most of the research funding of the departments are from the private sector.

History The graduate Faculty of World Studies at the University of Tehran, was established in 2007 as the first academic institu-tion in Iran dealing with the study of countries and regions around the world. Although in its embryonic stages, the Faculty has established itself as one of the premier institutions in Iran focusing on an inter-disciplinary approach to the study of po-litical, cultural, economic, and sociological aspects of a given country or region.The need for creating an institu-tion of this type had long been felt but the necessary condi-

tions were not met. The vision of an academic institution with an inter-disciplinary approach to the study of the world was finally realized in 2004 by establishing the Institute for North American and European Studies. In January 2007, the University of Tehran established the Faculty of World Studies as the first faculty of its kind which seeks to promote effective and practical understanding of major countries. It is important to train young men and women who aim to look at the past and present of other countries and predict their future economic, social, political, and cultural trends. A better un-derstanding of the world at large

Faculty of World Studies


and these countries in particular, is an essential component of the program and the Faculty of World Studies. This understand-ing is necessary for promotion of international peace, security and peaceful coexistence, which are the prerequisites to the overall development of our mother Earth.


The Faculty aims to promote the study of various countries and regions as an academic discipline in Iran at the theoreti-cal, strategic, and applied levels. Thus, bringing about expertise, understanding, and cooperation at institutional and individual levels is a primary mission and focus of the Faculty.The Faculty offers 2-year MA programs in British Studies, French Studies, German Stud-ies, Indian Studies, North Ameri-can Studies, Russian Studies and Spanish Studies. The Faculty intends to offer other programs on other countries in the near future. The Ministry of Science, Research and Technol-ogy has approved the introduc-tion of 13 more programs.Attempts will be made to promote an interdisciplinary ap-proach to joint studies such as US-Chinese, Japanese-Korean and US-Indian studies which will

provide the grounds for an un-derstanding of network relations in the fields of culture, economy and politics as well as common opportunities and threats. Fur-thermore, the Faculty is working towards offering a new program called World Studies. The main core of this program will be studying the major capacities and threats in the world in the fields of environment, security, food, energy, human and natural resources, housing, welfare and trade. This program will help re-searchers and scholars depict a monolithic, integrated picture for understanding the modern world and new trends in the world as an interdependent, intercon-nected totality.The teaching staff of each de-partment are well-versed in the language of the department they teach. The medium of instruction for every program is the lan-guage of the country being stud-ied. The non-teaching staff of the Faculty are acquainted with the demands of the students, and hence render invaluable services to students and teaching staff.

History

The Center for Graduate Inter-national Studies (CGIS) was established in 1965 and is the first Iranian academic center dedicated to training and con-ducting research on international affairs. Up to 1979, the CGIS was admitting about 15 students every year to the MA program in International Relations. Some years after, the educational ac-tivities of CGIS were assigned to the Department of International Relations of the Faculty of Law and Political Science, and cur-rently, the Center focuses solely on research.


The research orientation of the center consists of Iran’s national interest, Iran’s foreign policy and multilateralism. Some of the major projects executed and in the process of execution are:• A Comprehensive Research on Iran’s Foreign Policy• Humanitarian Assistance Challenges in the Middle East Region• The Survey of the Qualita-tive Indicators of Political Sci-ence and International Relations Disciplines in Iran• The Covenant on the Rights

of Children in Islam’s View; in Cooperation with the Internation-al Committee of the Red Cross • International Humanitarian Law in Islam’s View; in Coopera-tion with the International Com-mittee of the Red Cross (ICRC)• Evaluation of Regional Inte-gration in the Persian Gulf

The Center has 6 adjunct pro-fessors, mostly from the Faculty of Law and Political Science. The Center has a specialized library and a depository of U.N. documents.

The success of the aforementioned

project prompted the United Nations Development Program to initiate another project named “National Capacity Building for the Promotion and Protection of Human Rights and Greater Access to Justice”. In this new project that had started in late 2005 for a duration of 5 years, the Center for Human Rights Studies was designated as the Lead Agency. This project is implemented with the collabora-tion of eight national partners including academic institutes, governmental agencies and non-governmental organizations, and completed in 2010.

Cooperative Business Research Institute


Considering the importance of geophysical sciences, the International Council of Scientific Union (ICSU) and the Inter-national Scientific Union (ISU) announced the year 1957 as the International Geophysical Year, and asked for global cooper-ation in the development and promotion of this field of science. Therefore, the University of Tehran established the Institute of Geophysics (IGUT). The IGUT initially started its activities with three research divisions of Seis-mology, Geomagnetism, and Gravimetry. From 1963 to 1965, three WWSSN stations were

installed in the cities of Tabriz, Mashhad, and Shiraz. Later in 1975, the Iranian Long Period Array (ILPA) with seven long-period stations were installed in south of Tehran. The division extended its activities by an SRO system in Mashhad, and other analog stations in Ker-manshah, Minoodasht, Brojen, Mahabad, Ghale-Ghazi and Ghamsar cities. The scope of IGUT was expanded to educa-tional programs, including MSc. in pure and applied Geophysics and Meteorology. In 1970, the departments of Geophysics and Space Physics were officially

established.In December 2003, the National Center for Seismic Networks was established at the IGUT in order to monitor and report earthquake events to govern-mental organizations. The main duty of this center is monitoring the earthquakes occurring in Iran and nearby regions, and study-ing the seismicity of Iran with emphasis on micro-earthquake activities and further investigat-ing and analyzing earthquake precursors. Thus, the Research Center for Earthquake Precur-sors (RCEP) was established to fulfill this responsibility.

Departments

At present, the Institute is act-ively involved in research and education in 2 departments of Physics of the Earth and Space Physics. The Institute offers MSc and PhD degrees in Geophysics (majors in Earthquake Seismol-ogy, Exploration Seismology, Geomagnetism, and Gravity); and Msc and Phd degrees in Meteorology (majors in Dynamic Meteorology and Synoptic Me-teorology).
