New campus for 5,000 students to appear in Baku

Roughly thousand displaced families living in hostels of the Baku State University (BSU), will be evicted, BSU Rector Abel Maharramov said on Tuesday. He said they will be removed to a refugee camp built near the Mushvigabad village.
 
"After the relocation,  the campus will be demolished and a multi-storey complex of dormitories of the modern type meeting European standards will be built in its place," Maharramov said. The construction work will be launched next year.
 
Annually about 20,000 foreign students appeal to study at the BSU, but almost 80 percent of these students abandon school because of the lack of campus, the rector said.
 
The presence of the campus has a significant impact on the  place that the university occupies  in the global ranking of higher education institutions, Maharramov said. "If we have a complex of dormitories, the BSU can enter the list of the top 500 universities.”

Today, 1,500 foreign students from 16 countries study at the BSU.
