Welcome to the Chemical Engineering Department at Koya University here in the Kurdistan region of Iraq. I am very pleased together with my colleagues to run the department in a great working environment and in a professional style. The chemical engineering department at Koya University is unique of its kind in the Iraqi Kurdistan region because this field of engineering does not exist at other universities and higher education institutions within the region.
The department is offering currently a Bachelor of Science with Honours [B.Sc. (Hons)] in Chemical Engineering that normally, takes a minimum of four years study. The department of chemical engineering at Koya University aims at producing highly trained chemical engineers that the Kurdistan region very much needs for the development. This being the case, the department provides a program of study that keeps a good balance between theoretical and laboratory based practical courses. In the later the student will receive training and conduct experiments in the Unit Operation, Process Control, Fluid Mechanics, Heat Transfer and Thermodynamics laboratories. All our laboratories are equipped with equipments that are manufactured and supplied by world well known companies. Undergraduate students will also experience engineering practice and management in two or three jobs while they work in industry during the summer training. Moreover, students will gain more industrial work experience through a number of industry site visits each academic year. Therefore, the undergraduate study program at this department offers the best mix of a high quality classroom-based education and practical experience. That is why; Chemical Engineering degree from Koya University can provide the graduates an excellent starting point to launch a variety of rewarding careers inside and outside Kurdistan.
On research related activities, the chemical engineering department at Koya University strives to create an environment for its academic staff to conduct internationally competitive researches in their fields of expertise and provide consultancy services to a variety of industrial sectors including oil, gas and energy industries. Overall, we are aimed at bringing our department at international recognized level in terms of producing world class graduates and conducting high quality researches. Finally, if you have any comments and/or suggestions please feel free to contact us.
