Mission and Objectives
The world is shrinking fast, and social, economic, and political interactions among countries and peoples are becoming more frequent. Today these challenges are more complicated than ever before and require a greater skill than perhaps at any other time in human history.
At ADA University, we are committed to establish an outstanding education and training for our own citizens in Azerbaijan, but we realize that our growing nation also has a responsibility to bring first-class international education and leadership training for others in the region and the world. We wish to promote intellectual inquiry on a wide range of topics.
Therefore, ADA University has launched an International Fellowship program meant to prepare global leaders who have a strong commitment to serve a public cause.
The purpose of our International Fellowship is to:
- Prepare innovative leaders with vision and global perspective
- Encourage commitment to public service and further contribute to its development
- Participate actively in international human capacity enhancement efforts
- Enhance diversity of student body at ADA University
- Promote further intellectual inquiry on international topics
- Help to strengthen bilateral relations between Azerbaijan and friendly countries.
