• History & Memorable Moments

Most Faculties of the University of Tehran were created by integrating already existing higher education institutions such as Dar al-Funun. ^[1]

In 1928 however, professor Mahmoud Hessaby proposed the establishment of a comprehensive institute which could cover most of the sciences to Ali Asghar Hekmat, the then Minister of Culture in the cabinet administration of Reza Shah. ^[1]

Ali Asghar Hekmat in collaboration and consultation with Andre Godard and a team of European architects selected and designed the master plan of the university's main campus. ^[1]

The University of Tehran officially inaugurated in 1934. The Amir-abad (North Karegar) campus was added in 1945 after American troops left the property as WWII was coming to an end. Other colleges and faculties were later either founded by or directly assisted and expanded by academic institutions of the United States. ^[1]

The university admitted women as students for the first time in 1937. ^[1]

In 1986, by legislation of the National Parliament, the university's oversized College of Medicine separated into the independent Tehran University of Medical Sciences (TUMS), coming under the new Ministry of Health and Medical Education. The university (TUMS) is currently Iran's most prestigious medical school with 13,000 students. However, close collaboration between the university and Faculties of its mother University of Tehran continue in many areas of research. ^[1]
