History
Kish University started admitting students for associate courses in accountancy and bachelor’s course in business administration from 1996 on Kish Island in Persian Gulf. After it was turned into a First Type institute in 1997, the university admitted students in bachelor’s courses of accountancy, business administration, computer and English translation as well as master’s courses in sea physics and metallurgy up to the end of the Iranian year 1383 (March 21, 2005).
Thereafter, in line with policies adopted by Board of Trustees of the University and within the framework of university’s seven-year strategy, an agreement was signed to transfer management of the institute to Sharif University of Technology.
After the cooperation began and according to an agreement signed between Kish Free Zone Organization and Sharif University of Technology, management of Kish University was to be transferred to Sharif University of Technology through a four-year transition period. At the end of the period, management of Kish University was officially transferred to Sharif University of Technology in 2009 as international campus of the university.
