Former department headsAbout the Department of Biology
Since its establishment, the Department of Biology has enjoyed a distinguished scientific reputation within the University of Baghdad. In general, the department devotes the possibilities to maintaining the highest scientific level, as the department provides a broad study and research program within the field of biology to provide scientific opportunities for undergraduate and graduate students. Every year, many original scientific research are carried out in various fields of biology. About 85 members belong to the department, most of whom hold master’s and doctoral degrees. The members of the Department of biology are characterized by their high ambition and aspiration to raise the scientific level to the global level. In this regard, a number of employees of the department are currently continuing their studies outside Iraq and will accompany the department after completing the study requirements. At the level of preliminary studies, the department provides the opportunity to obtain a bachelor’s degree in biology by giving practical and theoretical lessons, as well as scientific research in almost all branches of biology, as the subjects taught during the four academic years qualify graduates to work as biologists wherever they are needed in the fields of work. The number of new students admitted to the department has increased over the past years.
