University of Kurdistan Hewlêr

The University of Kurdistan Hewlêr opened its doors in 2006 as the First and only Public, English-medium and Independent University in Iraq.

UKH is an English-speaking public University dedicated to being the region's leading centre of excellence in research and teaching and in the dissemination and application of knowledge to further the industrial, economic, cultural, environmental and social development of Kurdistan. 
The University has a focus to produce graduates with the expertise and intellectual capacity and curiosity required to meet the challenges facing Kurdistan, the wider region and world-wide. 
In achieving these regional aims, UKH is open to all who qualify on academic merit and is committed to actively taking part in the development process with a positive inspiring spirit. 
Our teaching philosophy is to teach our students how to think and not what to think.
