The graduate study program was launched in 1996.  This originally small program is an important proirity to the University of Dohuk  and now covers many  specializations.  The main objectives of the program are to explore solutions, update the knowledge of the existing faculty, and ensure future academic staff for the University of Dohuk, other academic inistitutions in Iraqi Kurdistan, and all Iraq.

Our primary concern is making sure we meet the highest quality demand for each specialized subject. Flexible programs have been designed to enable our university to execute mutual programs with international universities and research centers. Within  these programs, we can exchange knowledge, students, and researchers  through visiting or distance programs. To ensure successful results, only students who can present capability and background knowledge will be granted admitance for these programs.
