“Western Caspian University is a prototype of a novel educational institution and research center, which provides excellent student training and education. WCU students possess professional knowledge and experience of modern international management. WCU students are leaders of the future.”

“I am pleased to comment on my teaching experience as an American Fulbright Scholar at Western Caspian University, Baku. In early winter 2003, I was extremely fortunate to teach three leading-edge international business law courses for first degree and postgraduate students. The experience was remarkable in every way. The students were articulate and highly-motivated, the law faculty was supportive, and the university’s key administrators most notably the Rector, Vice-Rector Science, deans, and principal members of the International Relations Department were always accessible, energetic, receptive to new educational ideas, and personally interested in my general welfare. Moreover, it would be unfair to not express my deep appreciation to WCU’s Scientific Council. Indeed, this is perhaps my fondest experience as an academic.”

“Azerbaijan has played an important part in the pre-history of the Nordic people. May the national interest in preserving human future succeed!”

“Western University in Baku has made a considerable contribution to the development of a new, western-oriented didactic system in Azerbaijan. The University has promoted advanced teaching methodologies designed with the active assistance of foreign teachers and with the enthusiasm of a group of Azerbaijani professors, who have initiated an intense cultural and academic dialogue with several foreign universities.
“Soon after being established, Western University became a stimulating force in the Azerbaijan academic life, complementing the valuable activities of state universities; a catalyst for several cultural energies in Azerbaijan from different sectors, a forum for free thinkers united by the same commitment of re-launching Azerbaijan onto the international cultural scene as well as absorbing the best of foreign experiences into Azerbaijan.
“As such, Western University is serving an important function of incentive for a broader cultural debate on the future of Azerbaijan, disseminating those cultural and ethical values which are part of the most authentic traditions of this country; values that we hope will continue to be a firm source of inspiration for the young generation which will take Azerbaijan into the year 2000.”
Professor, Member Academy of Sciences of Azerbaijan Alekperov Urkhan
“Western University really is one of the cultural centres. While attending here it seems that you really are in a Western university. The students’ high educational and cultural levels is a reflection of the University’s standards. I’ve never seen in any other educational institution such high spirits and motivation for studies that we see here.”
Film producer & film critic, Ayaz Salayev
“It has been most rewarding to teach at Western University where so many students are learning so many languages at the same time. I am really impressed with the number of technical facilities available at the University. WCU has well established links with reputable universities abroad and is in the process of becoming accredited to some of them. The courses on offer enable students to work in all fields of highly sophisticated enterprises.”

“After completing an 11-year student exchange program in the United States, I returned to Azerbaijan and my dream was to continue my education in English. That’s why I chose WCU. It is a fact that there are special discounts on tuition fees for students who score high in entrance exams and semester exams. They can pay the tuition fee in part. This chance was very attractive for me in my 4 years of education.”
