Lorestan University

The university was founded in 1977 as a campus of Ahvaz Jundishapur University and later became independent after the Islamic Revolution.

Lorestan University is a public university and its funding is provided by the government of Iran. For the top-rank students from the national universities entrance exam, education is free in all public universities. Students with ranks below the normal capacity of the universities will be required to pay part or all of the tuition fee.

Although the official language of instruction in Lorestan is Persian, a number of lecture materials, reference books, homework assignments and even exams are in English. This is especially the case for the postgraduates students which English textbooks and materials are introduced to them as the main references.

The academic year is divided into three academic terms, determined by the university. The first academic term usually starts late September. The second Academic term usually starts on early February, and the Summer term is usually started from early July.

The University's publishing arm, the Lorestan University Press, has published many different academic books and journals.

There are several student organisations active throughout the university. Most of these organisations are only concentrated on academic activities with some also interested and active in political issues.
