ADA
Strategic Plan

Becoming a World Class University in Azerbaijan

During the first ten years since its inception, ADA University has received generous support of the Government of Azerbaijan in the form of significant capital investment for building a world-class campus. This support has also ensured ADA’s continuous promise to quality. The University’s goal is to ultimately become self-sufficient. We are investing in the future of our institution through ADA University Foundation, an endowment-building arm of ADA University. In 2015, we teamed up with one of the world’s leading consulting firms, McKinsey and Co, in order to develop a roadmap that would lead the university to its vision of becoming a world-class university in Azerbaijan. The outcome of this effort was “ADA 2025: 10-year strategic plan” that puts forward nine strategic objectives to better accomplish our mission and vision.
