ADA University

Hafiz Pashayev established ADA University under the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Azerbaijan in March 2006. In 2014, ADA was turned into a university by President's proclamation. The Azerbaijan Diplomatic Academy was established with the primary goal of training specialists for a diplomatic career in Azerbaijani foreign affairs, but its curricula grew and the name was changed to ADA University.

Its current campus, which is dedicated to it, opened in September 2012.Since 2006, ADA has expanded the number of programs it offers and became a full-fledged university with four schools, including,
