Projects through which the University puts the Sustainable Development Goals into practice: on campus, in Mosul's schools and across Iraq.
1School visits from October 2026
A joint project of Al-Hadba University and the Education Directorate of Mosul that takes awareness workshops on the Bologna Process to the high schools of Mosul. Grade-12 students learn what the Bologna Process will mean for their university studies before they enter university, and get to know Al-Hadba University. The campaign line is “Mosul bridges to Bologna through Al-Hadba University”.
2Approved centre 2026 – 2027
Al-Hadba University is licensed as an approved centre of the NOCN Group, the UK awarding and accreditation organisation: the first in Iraq and the second in the Middle East. The University can now deliver accredited professional training in labour-market fields for graduates and non-graduates, and award certificates recognised in Iraq and the United Kingdom. Training is open to the wider community of Mosul and Nineveh, starting with phlebotomy training in the health sector.
3Completed July 2026
Ten Al-Hadba University students completed a tailor-made study abroad programme at the Faculty of Health Sciences of the University of Almería, from 13 to 24 July 2026, under the Memorandum of Cooperation between the two universities. The programme combined lectures on emergency care, nursing, neonatal and paediatric care, psychology and well-being with clinical simulation and observational visits to Torrecárdenas and Poniente University Hospitals, the Almería Health District and Vithas Almería Hospital. Each student received a Certificate of Achievement and a Transcript of Records, and Al-Hadba University recognises the credits within the ECTS framework of the Bologna Process. It is the first practical outcome of the partnership, and further cohorts are planned.
