Qafqaz University: the applicant's brief

6 findings
  1. The short answer

    Qafqaz University was a university in Baku, Azerbaijan. It suits applicants who want to understand a now-closed institution rather than apply to an active one, because the university was shut down in 2017.

  2. What you can study

    Qafqaz University is no longer operating. It was previously a university in Baku, but the current programme catalogue is not available because the university was shut down.

  3. Getting in

    There is no current admissions route because the university was shut down on 16 January 2017. If you need to verify any archived details, check the university website or contact the institutionโ€™s former admissions office channels if they are still available.

  4. What it costs

    The university does not publish a current tuition fee because it is closed. For any historical fee information, confirm directly through the university website or archived admissions contacts; living costs in Baku would still depend on your housing, transport, and daily spending.

  5. Coming from abroad

    The university was located in Azerbaijan and was described as the first and only foreign private university in the country. For a student moving from abroad, the key practical question is not language or entry requirements, but whether the institution is operating at all; it is not.

  6. How it compares

    Among the 32 universities in Azerbaijan, Qafqaz University stands out historically because it was the first and only foreign private university in the country. In practical terms, though, it no longer belongs in an active application shortlist because it was shut down in 2017.

Written from this university's catalogue entry and its cited encyclopedia summary. Figures are only shown where the institution or a cited source publishes them โ€” always confirm fees and entry requirements with the university itself before applying.
