On Wednesday, the 26th of October, 2023, in the presence of Prof. Dr. Edrees Muhamad Tahir Harki, the Rector of the Erbil Polytechnic University, a workshop on the Bologna Process for the heads of scientific departments of colleges and institutes of our university was held.
In the workshop, the Vice Rector for Scientific Affairs, the Dean of the Erbil Technology College, and a number of members of the university council were present. The rector welcomed the audience and spoke about the importance of the Bologna process for the university, teachers and students. He said: “In my opinion, the head of the scientific department is really the dynamo of the university. All the work related to teachers and students, who are both the main components of the university. Therefore, we have focused on this point and paid great attention to the head of department, because it is very important and necessary for the head of department to participate in such courses and workshops”.
Ladies and Gentlemen, the importance of the Erbil Polytechnic University for the academic year 2022-2023 is that the number of graduates is higher than all universities in the Kurdistan Region, which makes us serious about the Bologna process. It is the only university in Iraq that has started this subject in a very orderly manner and continues to cut more levels. Currently, Iraqi universities are planning to come to the Erbil Polytechnic University to see what we have done and they can benefit from our experience in this regard. Therefore, we consider such courses important so that we can move forward and become a university. I can guarantee you that the future of our university is for the Erbil Polytechnic University, because Erbil Polytechnic University has started both the Bologna project and the name of the polytechnic can adapt to the labor market much easier. Our people are now aware and know what to study and go to study in what department, because they understood that studying is not only for a degree but also for you to work, we must try, as today We are tiring you but I am sure a good future awaits both you and your university. Welcome very much. I hope you will not miss such workshops and make a good commitment to them. Thank you again for your presence and I wish you success.”
Then the workshop program began in which the Bologna Process Committee led by Dr. Botan Majid Asngar and expert teachers in the field were explained the latest developments in the process.
