Sharif University of Technology( SUT), is a public research university in Tehran, Iran and is widely considered to be the nation's leading institution for engineering and physical science disciplines.
The international campus of the university is located in Kish Island, Persian Gulf.
Established in 1966 under the reign of Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi, it was formerly named the Aryamehr University of Technology and for a short period after the 1979 revolution, the university was called Tehran University of Technology.
Following the revolution the university was named after Majid Sharif Vaghefi, who was one of the People's Mujahedin of Iran group's leaders who was killed by the members of a splinter group( later renamed to Peykar Organization) who had recently converted from Islam to Marxism and were adamant to forcefully change the Mujahedin's organization's ideology to Marxism.
Today, the university provides both undergraduate and graduate programs in 15 main departments.
The student body consists of about 6,000 undergraduate students and 4,700 graduate students from all the 30 provinces of Iran.
Funding for Sharif University is provided by the government and through private funding.
Undergraduate admission to Sharif is limited to the top 800 of the 500,000 students who pass the national entrance examination administered annually by the Iranian Ministry of Science, Research and Technology.
In the 2013 Academic Ranking of World Universities Engineering/ Technology and Computer Sciences rankings, SUT is ranked 5th in the Middle East.
It is in the top 251–275 universities in the world and 37th in Asia in the 2014 Times Higher Education World University Rankings.
In the 2014 Times Higher Education top 100 for newer universities( less than 50 years old), SUT ranked 1st in the Middle East, 6th in Asia, and 27th in the world.
Founded in 1966, SUT was established in order to train and supply a part of required expert human resources of the country on an equal level to credible universities of the world.
Compared with other worldwide universities, it is a young and growing pioneer in both basic and applied sciences.
The main aims of SUT are:( 1) to create an organization where students can be instructed in both theoretical and applied sciences, with special emphasis on the particular needs of Islamic society;( 2) to teach students the advanced knowledge and techniques required to participate in the fields of engineering and technology and to cultivate them into creative engineers, good scientists and innovative technologists; and( 3) to educate engineers who are ready to be employed, who contribute significantly to their jobs, and who have a strong sense of public responsibility and a desire to continue to learn.
The emphasis is placed on the promotion of multidisciplinary research at the graduate and doctoral levels.
Based on that, SUT provides a scientific and dynamic environment for those who are trying to gain knowledge.
In other words, SUT is a place for those who are trying to understand and comprehend scientific realities and facts, and are trying to convey those to others.
