Consul General, Dr Wael Al-Robaaie, visited the University of Salford, where he met with the Pro Vice-Chancellor for Partnerships and Global Engagement, along with senior academic and administrative staff, to discuss opportunities for strengthening academic cooperation between Iraqi universities and the University of Salford.

Discussions focused on developing sustainable partnerships in higher education and research, organising joint seminars and workshops, and expanding academic exchange. The Consulate General also presented the “Study in Iraq” initiative, which was positively received by the University, with both sides expressing interest in exploring future collaboration.

The University agreed to share information on its academic programmes for dissemination to Iraqi universities, while discussions also covered access to digital library resources to support Iraqi students and academic institutions.

The delegation toured several academic facilities, including the School of Science, Engineering and Environment and the School of Arts, Media and Creative Technology, where they were introduced to the University’s teaching, research, and laboratory capabilities.

The Consul General reaffirmed the Consulate General’s commitment to strengthening partnerships with leading UK universities in support of Iraq’s higher education sector and scientific cooperation between the two countries.
