Students gain relevant technical training lasting from 4 weeks to 18 months. IAESTE includes committees representing more than 80 countries, with the potential of accepting new countries into the organization every year. IAESTEs aims are to connect students with employers in foreign countries, provide university students with technical experience and culturally enrich students and their host communities.
IAESTE in Iran is represented by its local office in Tehran. After a few year of being inactive, the activities of this office resumed as of 2013. All incoming student visits are sponsored by this office (including visa and accommodation), and member universities/companies in Iran are in charge of the technical training. On the other side, Iran can send its nationals for training to other countries where the IAESTE office on the host country is mutually in charge of visa/accommodating for the intern. In both cases, the intern is responsible for international travel expenses.
The number of students each country can send is roughly the same as the number of students it accepts from abroad. IAESTE Iran is also in charge of selecting Iranian interns to visit the host countries. For more information please visit www.iaeste.ir. Please see a video summarizing on-the-side activities of class 2017 incoming IAESTE students in Iran.
