This program aims to strengthen academic and cultural cooperation between Iraq and other countries, positioning Iraq as a distinguished educational destination for international students.
A special reception committee was formed in coordination with the university’s presidency and faculties to receive the students. The committee was headed by the Director of the Scholarships and Cultural Relations Department, Assistant Lecturer Dr. Hawraa Jabbar Rahi, with direct coordination from the “Study in Iraq” Unit Coordinator, Assistant Translator Ammar Khalaf Zimam. Representatives from the university’s faculties accompanied the students from Baghdad International Airport to the university, providing them with essential guidance to facilitate their integration into campus life.
As part of the welcoming efforts, Assistant Lecturer Mustafa Ahmed Fakhr Al-Din, Head of the Scholarships and Cultural Relations Unit at the Faculty of Medicine, welcomed a Sudanese student accepted into the faculty. He expressed his delight at the inclusion of international students and highlighted the importance of this step in fostering academic and cultural collaboration between countries.
