The Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research announced today, Monday, that there are more than 3,000 international students from 91 countries studying in Iraqi universities, stressing that the "Study in Iraq" program enhances the quality of university education and ensures international accreditation.
 
The ministry's spokesman, Haider Al-Aboudi, told the Iraqi News Agency (INA): "The (Study in Iraq) program, launched by the Minister of Higher Education and Scientific Research, Naeem Al-Aboudi, includes programs for undergraduate and graduate studies, as the numbers of those accepted varied between these two categories of students, who study in the same university environment, and participate with their Iraqi colleagues in academic programs and scientific achievement," noting that "the ministry provides a free educational environment for them, in addition to housing."
 
He pointed out that "some international students joined Iraqi universities at their own expense, due to the limited number of available seats, which is an indicator of the quality of education in Iraq and its accreditation, which enhances the confidence of observers and international students in Iraqi educational institutions."
 
Al-Aboudi explained that “the number of international students has reached more than 3,000 students from 91 countries since the start of registration in the (Study in Iraq) initiative two years ago,” stressing that “this is an important indicator of the quality of education in Iraq, as it constitutes a guarantee for achieving international accreditation and recognition of university education programs in the country.”
