ADA is a vision of future brought to life. This vision is driven by Innovation, Global Leadership and Responsible Citizenship. Our vision and strategy are based on four pillars: Global Leadership, Innovative Learning, Social Responsibility and Thriving Location. 

Global Leadership

We prepare innovative global leaders in the field of international affairs who are committed to making a difference in the region and throughout the world. We offer knowledge with global breadth and depth. We have started as a national school, but aspire to become a global brand.

Innovative Learning

Our world-class academic programs and curriculum, which are attracting the best and the brightest, are making ADA a clear intellectual epicenter in the region. Students at ADA learn not just from professors, they also learn from their diverse group of peers. Together they work with instructors as team-mates in a collaborative and open environment where the flow of ideas is highly encouraged and valued. ADA is a culture of collaboration, teamwork, analytical thinking, critical reasoning and strategic planning.

Social Responsibility

As ADA prepares future leaders for a changing world, the school is playing a guiding role in bringing change to Azerbaijan itself. Through its innovative learning model, groundbreaking research and dedication to giving back to the community, ADA is fast becoming a potent force for training new minds and developing new ideas critical to the young democracy’s development. We share philosophy of worldwide education and encourage principles of responsible citizenship.

Thriving Location

ADA’s singular focus on international affairs and business in an increasingly strategic region makes it unique among institutions of higher learning. Baku and ADA are both a living laboratory and will remain so for many years to come. In this thriving, cosmopolitan city and school, students feel they are part of a groundbreaking, transformational change in Azerbaijan as the ADA quickly becomes a new element in the national identity and on the international map. ADA thrives in concert with the capital city of Azerbaijan.
