User:International Education in Iran

Some Iranian universities have embarked on internationalization by executing International Educational programs and augmenting academic ties, signing cooperation agreements, exchanging academic and research staff as well as students. In the context of International Educational programs, these universities admit international students from all over the world for various degree programs including but not limited to the Doctor of Medicine (M.D.), Doctor of Dental Medicine (D.M.D.) and Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm. D.) among other undergraduate programs as well as Master’s, PhD, Fellowship, Specialty and Sub specialty programs.

Internationalization of universities is regarded as a situation with mutual benefit for both the university and their international academic partner in addition to the international students. Internationalization policy can provide them with the opportunity of sharing cultures, ideas, experiences, and even languages, boosting their skills and knowledge as well as achieving their goals.
