English language and literature faculty
There’s a lack in number of tutors in my field of study in the literature faculty of this institution, but most of these tutors are well–educated, experienced and insightful. The campus is vast and eye-catching , and there are various courses being held in this university. The education staff are somehow cooperating but it hugely depends on the course you’re studying. Overall I suggest studying in University of Mazandaran, because it has good academic reputatiton.
High level scientific environment
The environment and natural atmosphere of the university is very attractive, as well as the quiet and peaceful city.
