    ABOUT THE UNIVERSITY OF BAKU


    Baku State University is the first and leading institution of higher education in Azerbaijan.

    The University has become recognised scientific and training centre in the Middle East. The first meeting of Commission on establishment of University was held in May 21, 1919. Commission under the guidance of professor V.I. Razumovsky prepared and committed for approval the following documents.

    1. Letter of explanation to the draft bill on establishment of State University in Baku (May 31, 1919, # 7)

    2. The draft bill on establishment of the State University in Baku

    3. The Charter of the Baku State University

    4. Estimate of project costs and the staff schedule of the University for 1919-1920

    The draft bill was accepted by the Government Agencies in July 7,1919. "The bill on establishment of Baku State University" was approved by the Parliament of Azerbaijan Democratic Republic in September 1, 1919. According to the bill the University had to be composed of four departments:

  • Department of History and Philological
  • Department of Physics and Mathematics
  • Department of Law
  • Department of Medicine

  • (but only two departments were opened).

    The Charter of the Baku State University was approved by the Parliament of the Azerbaijan Democratic Republic in September 29, 1919.

    In accordance with the above-mentioned documents Baku State University began its activity at the beginning of November 1919 and the classes began from November 15. This day proposed to be the beginning of scientific and research activities of the University. On the occasion of this event, the first rector of the University V.I. Razumovsky wrote: " Azerbaijan established its own educational centre, and the new striking page in the history of Turkic (Azerbaijan) people was written. The new torch of learning was fired on cross-roads of Asia and Europe".

    One of the important stages in the history of Baku State University is connected with the name of the 1st Azerbaijani rector, Taghi Shahbazy. This eminent statesman, writer and the scientist was the rector of the University from 1926 to 1929.

    Conference the title of Honorary Doctors of Baku State University to a number of scientists, statesmen, politicians, men of culture advantaged an international recognition of our University. The great people of history Suleyman Damiral, Thansu Chillar, Masud Yilmaz, Islam Karimov, Saparmurad Niyazov, Eduard Shevarnadzeh, Frederico Mayor, Petro Luchinsky, a number of famous scientists Lutrfizadeh, Iren Malikova, Tadeush Svyatokovskiy, Javad Heyyat, Ahmad Shmideh, Khalil Jad are bearing proudly the title of the Honorary Doctor of Baku State University.
