Persian Language Training Center

About the AZFA Center:

In the summer of 2022, the Persian Language Training Center of Urmia University (AZFA) obtained its license from the Ministry of Science, Research and Technology of Iran.

The unique strategic location of West Azerbaijan Province and its proximity to the three countries of Iraq, Turkey and the Republic of Azerbaijan and the existence of scientific potentials have provided a suitable platform for non-Iranian students to study in this province and has also doubled the attractiveness of West Azarbaijan province due to the co-existence of different cultures with Turkish and Kurdish languages and its proximity to the dialects of neighboring countries.

With the aim of introducing and spreading Iranian culture and literature to international students, the Persian Language Training Center for foreign students of Urmia University has organized regular Persian language training courses. By offering Persian language courses at all levels, this center has provided an opportunity to learn Persian language for international students applying to continue their studies at Urmia University and other universities of West Azerbaijan province.
