?Shahid Chamran University of Ahvaz

Founded in 1955, Shahid Chamran University can, like many institutions in 바카라사이트 Gulf, point to a long tradition of higher education. Its original name, Jundishaphur University, harked back to 바카라사이트 Academy of Gondeshapar, which in 바카라사이트 sixth and seventh century had claims to be 바카라사이트 world¡¯s leading centre of medical science.

Jundishaphur, based in Ahvaz in 바카라사이트 south-western Iranian province of Khuzestan, began with a medical school and agricultural institute, and soon showed a capacity for progression in appointing Iran¡¯s first female chancellor, Tal¡¯at Basar during 바카라사이트 1960s. The 276-acre campus was built in 바카라사이트 decade from 1968.

It was renamed in 1982 after 바카라사이트 physicist Shahid Mustafa Chamran, a victim of 바카라사이트 Iran-Iraq war in 1981. In 1985 its medical school was removed under 바카라사이트 reforms which created Iran¡¯s current system of freestanding Universities of Medical Science.

It states that it is "one of 바카라사이트 most prestigious and accredited universities in Iran", and has significant expertise in 바카라사이트 science of dust storms, a major problem for Khuzestan, hosting 바카라사이트 International Conference on Dust in 2016 and several national events. Research from 바카라사이트 university is informing 바카라사이트 current development of a national plan to address 바카라사이트 issue.

It hosts 바카라사이트 only academic veterinary school in South West Iran, with a veterinary hospital equipped with specialist wards for small and large animals. There are 56 full-time faculty, offering master's and doctoral qualifications, spread across seven departments.
