Azerbaijan State Oil and Industry University

As the first oil and gas profile higher technical school in Europe and Asia, the Azerbaijan State Oil and Industry University (ASOIU) was founded in 1920. In September 2015, by order of President Ilham Aliyev, the University was named the Azerbaijan State Oil and Industrial University, which was tasked with training qualified personnel not only for the oil field but also for the entire domestic industry. In addition, since the new academic year, the French-Azerbaijan University (UFAZ), established under the Presidential Decree at ASOIU. This year, 143 students were admitted to the UFAZ, which will be taught in English, with the opportunity to earn a diploma from the University of Strasbourg, one and one of the most prestigious universities of France in the world, with the ASOIU diploma alumni, and this is a total of 2400 young people technical and engineering specialities, and grow up as highly qualified personnel for the country's economy. One of the crucial steps taken by ASOIU for the synthesis of education and science in the industry is the creation of the "Eazi START" startup school. Along with talented students and masters, the aim of the startup school, with the participation of doctoral students, university professors and professors, is to prepare a business project and build production requiring minimal investment based on innovations in science. At the same time, the AzII-IT Academy was established at the University to absorb students' information technology deeply. It should be noted that currently, Azerbaijan State Oil and Industry University cooperate closely with more than 200 universities overseas. At the same time, a joint Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) program with Zigen University in Germany and a Joint Master program in Business Administration (MBA) with Georgia State University in the United States need to be highlighted.

Over 20000 students are enrolled here today, studying degrees relevant to the oil and gas industry. As well as providing high-class academic facilities, the university also offers students access to an impressive sports complex containing a pool, football pitch and tennis courts. The university competes in around a dozen sports on a national level. More information about the university can be found on their official website.
