Amirkabir University of Technology AUT, has grown to be one of the top technical universities in Iran and one of the main spots to study engineering in Iran Lastly. As a public institution, it is mostly funded by the state.

AUT is spread across four campuses and boasts some 14,000 square meters of green space. The main campus is located in Tehran, and the other three are in the small towns of Mahshahr, Garmsar and the port town Bandar Abbas. The university owns about 250 research and educational labs for example CEIT lab, as well as a stadium and hosts a range of sports students can join.

Some of the areas AUT specializes in are robotics, advanced textile materials and technology research, energy research, transportation, renewable energy, optics, nanotechnology and environment research. Regular competitions and conferences are part of academic life at the university. Alongside engineering and mathematical subjects, an MBA is also available.

The 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action enabled technological and scientific cooperation between Iranian and United Nations researchers. This has allowed Amirkabir University of Technology to create links with universities around the world in the form of student and professor exchanges, dual degrees and joint workshops. In addition AUT also offers online courses.

Amirkabir University of Technology (AUT) is among the oldest and most prestigious of higher education technical and engineering institutes in Iran.

In 1979 AUT became a university was named Amirkabir University of Technology in memory of Amirkabir Farahani, an outstanding figure in Iran’s contemporary history who had resolved to expand and develop the pillars of technology and industry in Iran. In order to comply with the cultural and scientific policies of the new sovereignty, AUT underwent major changes in its organization which include: Faculty for Training Teachers of Science and Technology was separated from AUT due to the overlap of its mission with Teacher Training Centers and was annexed to the teacher training academic system.

The Higher School of Civil Construction was separated from AUT and was annexed to a complex named Khaje Nasir-e-Din Toosi University. Establishment of new faculties and courses especially at the graduate level which led to the establishment of six new faculties in the span of 1989 to 1996.

The initial establishment and formation of AUT dates back to October 1956. The initial core of the university was, then, formed under the name Tehran Polytechnic in order to expand the activities of two technical institutions of the time: Civil Engineering Institute and The Higher Art Center. The first group of students were admitted in 1957 through an internal exam and AUT officially commenced its activities in 1958, with five engineering majors: Electronics and Electrical, Mechanical, Textile, Chemistry and Civil Engineering. Along with the gradual expansion of the university up to 1978, the other majors added.
