Following the foundation of Islamic Azad University (IAU) in large cities like Tehran, Islamic Azad University Roudehen Branch was founded on November 5, 1983 in the vicinity of capital city Tehran. This has opened up new horizons in the development of Roudehen city. Since 1986, the city has witnessed such changes as rapid development of the university, migration, population growth, and socioeconomic changes which are still on the increase. One of the benefactors who helped establish this higher education center was the late Ayatollah Seyed Ahmad Mirkhani who, besides his religious activities and authoring books, was interested in social and cultural affairs.He generously donated a building for the university to obtain the permit to establish a branch. Having been busy with a few responsibilities in IAU testing center, Mr. Shariatpanahi resigned and on September 1986, Seyyed Mohammad Hosseini was appointed as the next chancellor of IAU Roudehen Branch. . As a result of its successful academic achievements and development all through these years, the university has recently been granted the grade of "Comprehensive" which positions the university among the top IAU branches.This outstanding success in the history of RoudehenBranch,as the largest university in the eastern Tehran, has created an atmosphere to further its academic endeavors.
