Universities competed to attract
prospective students with scholarships and tuition discounts on Monday as
Erbil, the capital of the Kurdistan Region of Iraq, hosted the ninth edition of
an international and local higher education conference and exhibition.
The event brought together
universities, institutes, academics, diplomatic representatives, and
educational institutions, drawing students and graduates exploring
undergraduate and postgraduate opportunities. Participants showcased programs
in technology, medicine, engineering, and the humanities, alongside options to
study inside and outside Iraq and take part in academic and cultural exchanges.
Ramyar Ahmed, a representative of a
participating university, described this year’s exhibition as distinguished by
its diversity and broad institutional presence. He highlighted strong interest
among Iraqi students in exploring new and specialized fields, with
participating institutions offering both local opportunities and programs
aligned with international academic standards.
Walid Khalid, the parent of a
prospective student, welcomed the event as an opportunity for families to
compare tuition fees, accreditation, and discounts among numerous universities
in one place. “It is a practical way to help students choose the right path for
their future careers.”
