UFAZ
The French-Azerbaijani University under the Azerbaijan State Oil and Industry University is an unprecedented, second-to-none higher educational institution created at the initiative of the presidents of the Republic of Azerbaijan and the French Republic. Its double-degree program is unique for Azerbaijan and the whole region. It allows the citizens of Azerbaijan to get higher education in their motherland according to the academic and scientific standards of the French education system, without leaving their country. The Azerbaijan State Oil and Industry University, together with the Universities of Strasbourg and Rennes1, are very proud of their contributions to the development of such a noble and promising project that is UFAZ. The four engineering specialties taught at UFAZ since September 2016 have the fast-growing potential in the world markets. They are essential for every market and especially for Azerbaijan nowadays with the increasing need for economic diversification. Students of UFAZ have unique opportunities to learn from the French professors coming to Baku on weekly basis, to gain a high-quality education in technical sciences. They will also have access to the rich e-libraries of Strasbourg and Rennes1 universities as well as modern laboratories. Upon the completion of their studies, the UFAZ graduates will receive two diplomas – the diploma of Azerbaijan State Oil and Industry University (ASOIU) and Strasbourg or Rennes1 University (depending on the degree received). This in turn increases their chances of getting into top-ranked universities to purse master degree!
I wish to all the newly admitted and prospective students to work hard and persevere in order to achieve success and be able to benefit from both French and Azerbaijani educational education systems.
