On the sidelines of the 31st Meeting of Arab Universities for Student Training and Internship Exchange, and with the aim of strengthening scientific and academic cooperation between Erbil Polytechnic University and Misr University for Science and Technology, a strategic Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed by Professor Dr. Idris Mohammed Tahir Herki, Rector of Erbil Polytechnic University, and Professor Dr. Hala El Menoufi, President of Misr University for Science and Technology.
The MoU focused on organizing joint scientific conferences. Both universities agreed to strengthen their academic cooperation by organizing joint conferences, particularly in the field of medicine. Under this agreement, the first joint medical conference was scheduled to take place at the end of October.
The MoU also included a Double Degree program. To enhance students’ academic qualifications, both universities agreed to implement the program, particularly in medical disciplines such as Nursing and Medical Laboratory Sciences. Under the proposed mechanism, students could complete three years of study at Erbil Polytechnic University and one year at Misr University for Science and Technology, or vice versa. Students from the partner university could also complete two years at their home university and the remaining two years at Erbil Polytechnic University. Upon successful completion of the program, students would receive a joint bachelor’s degree awarded by both universities.
