About

Basic information and contact details for Nawroz University

institution

Nawroz University is based in Duhok, a province in the north of the Kurdistan region in Iraq.

It is a private university founded in 2004 by the provincial government’s Syndicate of Economists.

Starting with faculties of economics, computer science, and law and political science in 2004, it added languages and expanded computer science into a full-fledged science department when it attained full university status in 2009. Engineering courses were established in 2013.

Beginning with English, the languages grew with the addition of Kurdish in 2014, translation in 2017, Kurdish studies in 2018 and psychology in 2023. A joint programme with Durham University set up in 2022 and funded by the British Council focusses on Kurdish Studies.

Engineering has developed similarly, with the founding computer engineering degree supplemented by architectural engineering and an English-medium course in civil engineering.

Since 2015 a Legal Clinic has offered free legal advice.
