Nakhchivan State University

Nakhchivan State University (NSU) is a prestigious public university located in Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic, Azerbaijan.

Nakhchivan State University's story began in 1967 as a humble branch of the Azerbaijan Pedagogical Institute. With just three staff members, it planted the seeds of higher education in the Nakhchivan region. Five years later, it blossomed into an independent institute, offering courses in economics and foreign languages. 1990 marked a pivotal moment as the institute transformed into the Nakhchivan State University, taking its own path in the academic landscape. Autonomy arrived in 2002, granting the university self-governance and the freedom to chart its own educational destiny.

From these humble beginnings, NSU has flourished. Today, it boasts a sprawling campus, a diverse range of faculties, and a reputation for excellence. It attracts students from across the region and beyond, eager to dive into its renowned academic programs and contribute to its thriving research activities. Internationally recognized and actively involved in exchange programs, NSU stands as a symbol of Nakhchivan's educational progress. Its past is one of perseverance and growth, while its future promises to be one of continued academic leadership and regional impact.
