University of Wasit

Wasit University is one of the most prominent academic institutions in Iraq. Since its establishment on 13th. Jan. 2003, it has moved inconsistent steps towards achieving its goals to build a decent academic base. It aims at elevating its scientific standard to occupy a distinguished status among other outstanding Iraqi and Arab universities. It has been established in Wasit Governorate to be a center for knowledge، culture and science for all those who graduate from secondary schools in the governorate. Wasit University aims at achieving high-level academic criteria through active contribution to the scientific progress. It has provided the social and economic sectors with scientifically، administratively and technically qualified staff. It intends to cope with world cultural and technological progress to raise its standard. There is no doubt that the achieved success of the University is the fruit of genuine efforts exerted by the University Board، the teaching staff and administrative and technical personnel along with the continual support of the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research. Wasit University has started with only two colleges: College of Education and College of Administration and Economics. There has been expansion in the colleges themselves to contain some extra departments along with scientific centers. Now it includes fifteen colleges with 55 scientific and humane departments. Moreover، it contains the Continuing Education Center، IT Center and Ibn Sina Center along with the Central Library and the Scientific Virtual Library. It is expected that the university will establish other colleges and departments. We hope that our university will gain an esteemed status among other Arab and world universities as it has gained that status among other Iraqi universities. This depends on the cooperative efforts and insistence to achieve success and progress scientifically and practically.
