History

Based on the recent approval of the Board of Trustees of the Institute for Humanities and Cultural Studies, the Islamic Revolution faculty was formed by abstracting from the faculty of Political Thought, Revolution and Islamic Civilization, so it can be considered as an outgrowth of the groups and faculties that have been active over the years of IHCS in the field of the political studies. In 1995 the first political studies group of IHCS named "Political Studies in Islam" was formed under the management of Mr. Dr. Reza Davari Ardakani, and after then, with the official permission of the Ministry of Science at the time, it accepted students for the doctoral level. 12 years later, the group was transformed into faculty of political.

In 2012 due to the non-approval of some groups and faculties of IHCS, a specialized group was appointed by the board of trustees to design the internal structure of IHCS in a specialized way. With the decision of this group, the faculty of Political Science was merged with the faculty of Revolution and Islamic Civilization, and after the final approval by the Development Council and its announcement, the head of IHCS in 2013 appointed Dr. Najafi as the head of the new faculty with the title " Political thought, revolution and Islamic civilization", and finally, due to the need for specialized and in-depth research and study, student training, as well as attracting new forces in the field of Islamic Revolution Studies, the faculty of  Islamic Revolution started its activity independently.
