Malek Ashtar University of Technology (MUT) (Persian: دانشگاه صنعتی مالک اشتر Dāneshgāh-e San'ati-ye Mālek Asht'ar) is a public research university of engineering, science, and military in Iran. Founded in 1984, MUT's main campus is located at Tehran, the capital of Iran. Its other campuses are located in Isfahan and Urmia. The university is named after Malik al-Ashtar, one of the most loyal companions of Ali Ibn Abi Talib. Malek-Ashtar University of Technology is often referred to as "MUT" by the abbreviation.
Malek Ashtar University of Technology provides both undergraduate and graduate programs. MUT is organized into more than twenty schools, colleges, and institutes, located in six centers throughout Lavizan in Tehran, Shahin Shahr in Isfahan province, Karaj in Alborz province, Fereydunkenar in Mazandaran province, Bandar Abbas in Hormozgan province and Urmia.
The university does not provide free access and is not open to visitors. Visitors can only enter the university after getting permission from the person they want to visit. Their identification will be registered at the entrance and they should give a valid identification card that can be collected at the exit.
In late 1981, the Iranian government brought together all military industrial units and placed them under the Defense Industries Organization (DIO). By 1984, a large number of infantry rifles, machine guns, and mortars and some small-arms ammunition were being manufactured locally. They also established three universities to educate experts for Iran's industrial and research centers: Imam Hossein University, Baqiyatallah Medical Sciences University, and Malek-Ashtar University. Malek Ashtar University of Technology was approved in 1984 by the Iranian Ministry of Science, Research and Technology. It was then recognized as a university in 1984.
