Azerbaijani delegation led by Education Minister Mikayil Jabbarov has visited France to complete the process of establishment of the University of France-Azerbaijan (UFAZ) created on the initiative of the Azerbaijani and French presidents.

During the visit, Jabbarov met with President of the Strasbourg University of France, Alain Beretz to discuss the joint project aiming at development of the higher education system of Azerbaijan, Azertag reported.

The project UFAZ will be implemented jointly by the Azerbaijan State Oil and Industry University (ASOIU) and the French Universities of Strasbourg and Rennes.

The opening of the University of France-Azerbaijan in Baku will be beneficial primarily to students, as they will be provided with a double diploma.

The university already announced student admission for the 2016/17 academic year.

In 2016/2017 academic year, ASOIU will start teaching in four specialties including Chemical Engineering, Computer Science, Geophysical Engineering and Development and exploitation of oil.

The university established in cooperation with the University of Strasbourg on the program of the first three majors, and with the University of Rennes 1 on the latest specialty.

The duration of the education is four years (one year of training + three years of basic study), which will be conducted in English. Training is planned to be fully conducted in the ASOIU in Baku.

Students, showing good results during the semester will have a chance to go to the summer schools in France.

This year, 120 received in UFAZ (with best results) are exempt from paying tuition fees. Some 40 places will be offered on a fee basis.

Classes for students will be first in English, then in French, which means that University graduates can be provided with jobs in Azerbaijani, English and French companies.
