Directorate of International Relations
making the university's global links
Welcome to DOIR
One of the highest priorities of University of Duhok (herein, the University) is to promote its strong and well-established international presence in higher education globally. The Directorate of International Relations' (DOIR) mission is to support the University's international strategy and to contribute to the implementation of its strategic plans for international partnership and collaboration, as well as to establish prospects for the University academic community.
DOIR collaborates closely with the academic community at the University to facilitate communication channels for students, researchers, and professors, as well as universities and partners. Our connections range from student exchange programmes and coordinated research on international problems to cooperation in teaching. Through our vast network of international relationships, we provide chances for collaboration on a variety of levels, including assisting businesses, governments, and universities in staff development and offering possibilities for employees and students to participate in overseas programmes.
DOIR supports incoming students and researchers. At the same time, it offers advice and assistance for researchers and students planning to study abroad. The directorate also oversees the University's international initiatives and activities. Our work is made possible by a devoted staff that serves our academic community. ➤ EXPLORE TO GET KNOW THEM
