The Graduate University of Advanced Technology was established in 2007 to provide technological higher education in the largest by area of Iran’s 32 provinces.
It has faculties in electrical and computer engineering, chemistry and chemical engineering, materials and mechanical engineering, civil engineering and geology and an interdisciplinary science and modern technology faculty which is the largest in the institution with more than 20 specialist laboratories.
The campus also incorporates the first science and technology park in South-East Iran, one of the first 10 opened nationally, which draws on a network of research institutes which were formed before the university was created.
The Environmental Science Institute formed in 2001 to accommodate work in ecology, biotechnology, biodiversity and environment. It has hosted a range of national congresses reflecting that remit.
