We are thrilled to announce that the College of Pharmacy, University of Baghdad, has once again secured the #1 spot in the Iraqi Ranking for Universities (IRU) 2025 for Scientific Specializations.
Our top ranking is a testament to our high performance across the IRU’s core evaluation axes for scientific departments:
✅ Program Accreditation (45%): Demonstrating our success in rigorous self-assessment, full compliance, and maintaining national accreditation certificates.
✅ Faculty Strength (25%): Sustaining elite student-to-staff ratios that align with international educational benchmarks.
✅ International Diversity (10%): Leading the way in attracting global talent and international students through the “Study in Iraq” initiative.
✅ Global Academic Recognition (20%): Validating our research impact through our presence in world-class rankings, including Shanghai, Times Higher Education, and Scimago.
This milestone was made possible by the visionary leadership of our college deanship and the college council. Their strategic guidance and unwavering support remain the cornerstone of our academic and research success.
We also extend our deepest gratitude to the University of Baghdad Administration and particularly the Department of Quality Assurance for their continuous guidance and dedication to academic transparency.
Congratulations to our faculty, staff, students, and our Quality Assurance Division for their tireless efforts. Together, we continue to innovate, educate, and lead.
