The idea of establishing an academic center in Iran for the study of world countries first emerged in 1996 (1375 in the Iranian calendar). This idea was proposed by Dr. Saeed Reza Ameli, a professor in the Department of Communications at the University of Tehran. He then selected colleagues from the Faculties of Social Sciences, Law and Political Science, Foreign Languages and Literatures, and Fine Arts to join the initiative. With seriousness and persistent effort, a movement was launched that has today taken shape as the Faculty of World Studies, steadily growing and evolving

At that time, a comparative study of 50 universities around the world was conducted. From the very beginning, six undergraduate programs in country and regional studies and 28 master's programs were designed. A clear and detailed action plan was in place at the outset to pursue this idea
