Today the UCAM entered into the prestigious list of international universities which are recommended for their excellence in scientific research and study by Iran's Ministry of Science, Research and Technology.

The Ministry of Science, Research and Technology supervises the state-run (non-medical) universities of Iran and recognises institutions of higher education around the world who are also strongly esteemed in this field. UCAM has been featured among the top of the list of Iberian universities which are recommended in science, research and technology.

The entrance into this prestigious group of elite universities is due to the Ministry taking into account UCAM's investment in and strive towards research, the facilities that the university has in order to achieve this, the quality of Phd and other doctorate works that have come from UCAM doctors, and the number of students enrolled in doctorates and science-related degrees.
