Education
changeTeaching at UFAZ is in the English language, and the academic curriculum followed is the one of the University of Strasbourg, and the University of Rennes 1 for oil and gas engineering bachelor program.
To harmonize the 3-year undergraduate course in France with the 4-year bachelor program in Azerbaijan, the first year at UFAZ is a foundation year.[1] The teaching staff consists of both French and Azerbaijani professors.[2] Upon graduation, UFAZ graduates receive Azerbaijani (ASOIU) and French (University of Strasbourg or University of Rennes 1) national diplomas.
At present, the UFAZ counts 4 specialties at the bachelor level: chemical engineering,[3] geophysical engineering,[4] computer science,[5] and oil and gas engineering.[6]
Most UFAZ students, more than 80%, are scholarship holders who receive free education based on Azerbaijani government's financial support.
UFAZ will open new master's programs for the 2020/2021 academic year in the following areas: chemical engineering / physical chemistry, geosciences and applied computer sciences (big data and artificial intelligence).[7]
