-
Scientific Research: Focuses on the volume and quality of research output, number of citations, and the impact of research published in reputable international journals.
-
Academic & Employer Reputation: Assesses regional and international recognition of the university by academics and employers, and their confidence in its educational outcomes.
-
Internationalization: Evaluates the percentage of international students and faculty, as well as academic and research collaborations with global universities and institutions.
This advancement reflects the continued efforts of the University of Baghdad to develop academic, research, and institutional performance, enhancing its scientific standing both nationally and across the Arab world.
This achievement also contributes to the Sustainable Development Goals, particularly Goal 4, which promotes quality education, and Goal 17, which emphasizes partnerships for achieving the goals.
