University of Neyshabur

In 1997, with two fields of Food Engineering and Social Sciences Research, Ferdowsi University of Mashhad (FUM) launched its Neyshabur branch campus at the present site of Neyshabur Art Faculty which was subsequently conceived as a FUM affiliate Faculty of Art in 1999. The Faculty of Art, then, officially was authorized to admit students and confer degrees in Painting, Graphic Design and Sculpture in 2003 as a new addition.

In 2006, following the final agreement of Higher Education Office, the Faculty was elevated to Neyshabur Higher Education Complex by adjoining the already existing fields and three other in Physics, English Literature and Archaeology.

Shortly after, in 2009, Higher Education Office announced its approval on the definitive disjointure of Neyshabur Higher Education Complex from FUM. In the following year, the foundation stone was laid through perseverance, organized planning and well- managed steps taken by the respective Chancellor of the Complex and his appointed administrators; accordingly, Neyshabur Higher Education Complex was legally and officially recognized as Neyshabur University. At the present time, Neyshabur University is up and running with around 1296 (BA. BSc.) students in three faculties of Art, Literature & Humanities and Sciences and 8 fields of study in Painting, Graphic Design; Persian Language & Literature; English language & Literature ; Archaeology; physics and Mathematics and also 120 MSc. students in 5 fields of study; Nuclear Physicsو Solid Physics, Pure Mathematics, Archaeology and Art Research.
