Notes: ADA University was evolved from the extension of the former Azerbaijan Diplomatic Academy (ADA) into a university of humanities and social sciences. The university is closely associated with the Azerbaijani government. All of its programs are taught in English, and it has many professors from prominent European and American universities. The university is now keen to build an exchange relationship with PKU and other Chinese universities. ADA University has attracted international students from 24 countries and is looking forward to recruiting students from China.
