Khazar University is a leading academic institution of Azerbaijan.
Established in 1991 in the capital city Baku, it became the first ever
private university of the CIS countries. Khazar is a research-oriented
university with strong, innovative academic programs geared towards
upbringing a generation of leaders for a new democratic, open model of
society and the emerging market economy. As Azerbaijan's broadening
integration into the world economy places an increasing demand for
English-speaking professionals, Khazar University provides education
predominantly in English in order to satisfy this demand. The degree to
which English is used at Khazar creates a comfortable communication
environment for international professors and students.
With its outstanding faculty and dedicated students, Khazar University
envisions its mission as creating a better future for Azerbaijan by
contributing into advances in science and increasing the nation's
intellectual capital.
