   How it compares

   Iran has 193 universities, and this one stands out for its direct focus on petroleum and related engineering subjects rather than a broad general profile. Its public status and oil-industry funding make it more specialised than many universities in the country, which may suit applicants looking for a narrower technical pathway.
