Official: Foreign Students Keen to Study Medical Sciences in Iranian Universities
“Non-Iranian students are more interested in medical sciences and fortunately our university has a high capacity in this field, and engineering fields are of interest due to the high scientific capacity of the Iranian universities in these fields,” Leila Haji Abdolrasouli told ANA.
“Persian language and literature are also of interest to students interested in the Iranian culture and literature, which mainly attracts students from the Muslim countries, and Islamic sciences and theology also have applicants from foreign countries,” she noted.
“We believe that given the geographical location of Hormozgan Province, its proximity to the countries bordering the Persian Gulf, and access to free waters, this university branch enjoys a high capacity to become a regional educational hub,” Haji Abdolrasouli said.
Iranian Deputy Science Minister Hashem Dadashpour said in 2023 that a total of 94,406 foreign students from 91 countries are studying in Iranian universities.
“Now we have students from 91 nationalities in the country's universities, some of them are from European and American countries,” Dadashpour said.
Naturally, a higher percentage of students is from neighboring countries such as Iraq and Afghanistan, he noted.
