[1] The SBUK occupies an area of 5 million square meters, making it one of the largest universities in Iran and the region.

[3] The SBUK was appointed as the Center of Excellence (fa:قطب علمی) by Iran's Ministry of Science and Technology (Higher Education) in the field of mathematics.

[32] The main sports complex of the university consists of several basketball, volleyball and tennis courts and a 5000 spectator football stadium.

[3] SBUK has strong ties with industries - especially those located in the province of Kerman, which has brought many funding and financing opportunities for the university.

[citation needed] Students with ranks below the normal capacity of the universities will be required to pay part or all of the tuition.

[citation needed] Although the official language of instruction at SBUK is Persian, a large number of lecture materials, reference books, homework assignments, and even exams are in English.

[citation needed]This is especially true for the postgraduate students who are encouraged to use English textbooks and materials as their main references.

In each stage of development, the campus was to be a complete and coherent whole, still allowing for future expansion without hindering the functioning departments.

[33] The master plan was inspired by the organic urban grid of Kerman city centre that has historically evolved in response to climatic conditions of a desert town.

[33] The height of the main building blocks are restricted to 3, optimizing seismological, climatic, economic and circulation considerations.

[33] Careful distancing of blocks, along with articulate projections of the buildings, allow natural and controlled lighting for inner spaces while creating ample shadow for the inner courtyards.

[33] This general arrangement, permits one to cross the whole campus through courtyards and archways with minimal detours, under protection from direct sunlight or rain if needed, or to access other departments from within the buildings and through connecting corridors and internal patios.
