About Golestan University

Basic information and contact details for Golestan University

institution

Higher education was introduced to Northern Iran’s Golestan province in 1957, with the opening of the Junior College of Forestry and Range Management. The college expanded, and in 2008, three of its faculties were separated out to create the new Golestan University.

Golestan University now consists of the faculty of sciences, the faculty of humanities and social sciences, and the faculty of engineering and technology (the last of these spread across two campuses). Degrees range from the general – such as management, geography or social sciences – to the highly specific: polymer engineering and surveying engineering.

The university is also home to the Golestan Science and Technology Incubator and the Golestan Institute of Islamic Studies Developmental Centre.

The verdant campus includes modern laboratories and a sports area, with football pitch and running track.
