About Kerman University of Medical Sciences

Basic information and contact details for Kerman University of Medical Sciences

institution
The Kerman University of Medical Sciences (KMU) is a specialist higher education institution based in Kerman, south-east Iran. Established in 1978, the institution is the largest medical sciences university in the region, with around 6,000 students enrolled on more than 125 undergraduate and postgraduate degree programmes. Teaching at KMU is shared across 10 schools including dentistry, pharmacy, nursing, healthcare management and traditional Persian medicine. The university also has a number of highly-regarded research institutes attached to it, including a centre for HIV and sexually transmitted disease which works in partnership with the World Health Organization. Its main campus is located in the centre of Kerman, an ancient city known for its rich culture and architecture, including historic mosques and Zoroastrian fire temples. There are five smaller satellite campuses located in Zarand and Sirjan. Student accommodation is available for home and international students at KMU. Dormitory-style rooms are private and gender segregated. Strict security rules apply to the dorms, and students are not permitted to carry alcohol, certain types of music or other items that are banned in Iran. Medical courses at KMU are very practical, and most degrees require students to work closely with local patients in associated hospitals. All students are therefore required to have a standard level of proficiency in speaking and understanding Persian as part of their studies. The university’s language centre provides Persian classes to students where necessary. Extracurricular activities including sports and entertainment are a regular feature of campus life at KMU, and all students are encouraged to make use of the university’s multi-purpose sports hall and on-site swimming pool and sauna. A number of sports competitions also take place at the university and teams take place in inter-university tournaments across the country.

To understand and convey material of a specialist or highly technical nature through written presentations and oral discussions. To prepare and deliver presentations on research activities to both academic and non-academic audiences. To prepare high-quality outputs, including weekly and termly research reports for the PI, and drafts of papers for submission to peer-reviewed journals as appropriate. To actively participate to problem sessions, group meetings, training, induction events, workshops and other meetings as required, both at Durham and at Chiesi. To liaise with departmental and university support units as appropriate for the progression of the project, follow all rules and guidelines in place in the group, the Department, the University and the company, including the NDA and collaboration agreement related to this project, making all necessary internal and external contacts to develop this project successfully.
